What is it?GeekOS is a tiny operating system kernel for x86 PCs. Its main purpose is to serve as a simple but realistic example of an OS kernel running on real hardware. (Actually, most of the development is done on the Bochs emulator.) The goal of GeekOS is to be a tool for learning about operating system kernels. As of version 0.2.0, it comes with a set of projects suitable for use in an undergraduate operating systems course, or for self-directed learning. GeekOS has been used in courses at a number of colleges and universities. How do I get it?Go to the downloads section, or use the Australian mirror: HTTP, FTP. What do I need to run it?Check out this page for detailed instructions on how to build GeekOS on Linux/i386, FreeBSD, Windows, and Unix platforms.
