- An open source os written in Turbo C (for DOS/ windows) and nasm (Windows/Dos/Linux) as well as two exclusive tutorials on how to write an operating system.  

- Research paper on monadic interface to low-level hardware features that are useful basis for building operating systems in Haskell; has primitives to control memory management hardware, user-mode process execution, low-level device I/O. Abstract; PDF, PS.  

- NetBSD/amiga is a Unrecompensed, portable unix like operating system for many machines, including the Amiga.  

- Reviews on Operating Systems written by consumers.  

   - RISC OS developers - the world's first 32-bit RISC operating system - used in Acorn, Advantage Six, Microdigital and RiscStation computers. Site has content for developers, resellers and the public interested in using this ROM-based, low-overhead, operating system.  

   - Home site. Niklaus Wirth invented Pascal, Modula, then Oberon language in Pascal/Modula tradition, and a modern, integrated, effective, compact, operating system for one-user workstations. Descriptions, papers, documents, downloads, links. [Open Source]  

- Attempts to list all for free firewall software downloads on the Internet for the Windows Operating system.

- "Agent-based communication paradigms have shown enormous potential for operating in unpredictable, metamorphic environments, such as mobile computing networks." Published in Crossroads, the ACM student magazine.  

- This group's focus is to build and investigate software systems for parallel and distributed environments. They have conducted research in operating systems, networking, mobile computing, language design, compiler design, and architecture, taking a pragmatic approach: "we build high-performance, reliable, and working systems."  

- Documentations on how to get various operating systems running inside Hercules.  

- Research OS coded in C++, architecture organized as frameworks of objects hierarchically classed by function, performance; customized by replacing subframeworks, objects; application interface is kernel objects exported via application/kernel protection layer; kernel and application objects examined via application browsers; runs on bare hardware on distributed and parallel computers. Virtual Choices (VChoices) also runs under Unix System V.
