yes it is.
Also, (no offense Dex) but this is a very amature listing of OS's. It seems very unofficial and hear-say'ish.
As lower comments suggest, there are more advanced projects out there that the OP seemed to just overlook or rather didn't see due to poor research and a distant relationship with the area of work.

yea but he still made the list. Obviously none of us are going to create an OS that is widely used and adopted as linux became(except maybe LoseThos), so I think its quite an accomplishment to have something that can be fully functional enough to be on that list.

Ha ha ha! I especially like the part where Losethos (Terry A. Davis) plugged himself on that thread:

yeah lol I read that part.
LoseThos will *never* be a Linux/Windows/Mac replacement for one very basic fact, he does not fix errors or make changes based on user-feedback.
Anyways, the list is ok, but the research was half-@$$ed.

None taken, but i think the point of the post, was to put your top 10 alternative-operating-systems, if you did not agree with theres.
My list :
I think, they got it right, because i see a big part of the "alternative-operating-systems", is that they should be usable.
You can make expremental OS's, but if they are not self supporting or have loadable drivers, load programs, they are just demo's.
I would add Solar OS to my list.

wow, I totally missed the actual text in the OP, I just went straight for the link.
I would add in QNX, Plan9 and OS/2 Warp.
