GeekOS as an Instructional OS

Because of its simplicity, the availability of high quality free development tools, and the Bochs emulator, GeekOS is well suited for use as an instructional operating system.  GeekOS has been used as the basis for projects in the undergraduate operating systems course at the University of Maryland.  This page has links to some useful resources regarding using GeekOS in the classroom.
