Re: Unknown operating system mature similar to Linux?
There are many stable and mature operating systems out there few people have heard of. Many of them are not in the desktop market.

Have you ever heard of a website called "Google"? It is very useful when researching this kind of question.

If the OS is not widely known, Google is unlikely to find it but we might happen to know about it. So it wasn't THAT unreasonable that he asked...iansjack wrote:Have you ever heard of a website called "Google"? It is very useful when researching this kind of question.
When you start writing an OS you do the minimum possible to get the x86 processor in a usable state, then you try to get as far away from it as possible.
