Dear freshmeat.net subscriber,

nieklinn88 just announced version 0.0.3 of FreeNOS on freshmeat.net.

The changes are as follows:

This version includes a new filesystem written from scratch: LinnFS. It is
roughly based on the Extended FileSystem. It is now used as the root
filesystem
on the LiveCD instead of Ext2. Additionally, the notion of current directory
has
been implemented. Finally, this release has also been tested on the latest
Nexenta distribution.

Project description:

FreeNOS is an experimental microkernel operating system for learning
purposes.
The system is very experimental, yet it currently supports virtual memory,
simple task scheduling, and interprocess communication (IPC). It currently
contains support for a few devices, including VGA, keyboard, i8250 serial,
and
PCI host controllers. FreeNOS has an experimental implementation of several
filesystems, such as the virtual file system, procfs, tmpfs, and ext2fs.
Current
application libraries include libposix, libc, libteken (terminal emulation),
and
libexec (executable formats). All source code has been documented with
Doxygen
tags. It has been tested on recent versions of Qemu, VMWare, VirtualBox,
Bochs,
and bare hardware.
