For interested persons is this
list, in order to specify as much as possible operating systems already
existing. Who would like to know whether the operating system with the name xyz
really exists or has existed, this is a excellent source to start. Commercial,
free, open source and operating systems developed at universities as well as
their derivatives are included. It does not take place a distinction after the
level of development, application purpose, distribution or hardware platform.
Operating systems with only different version numbers are considered only if
they are technically clearly different to each other.
This list offers hundreds of operating system product and project names, many
of them are based on the same operating system more or less with more or less
differences in the source code. The most operating systems can be traced to few
development lines and derive from a small amount of system software. This
applies especially to Linux distributions with a low number of main
distributions. Further projects which largely use the same code base have
forged to new distributions. Depending of this there forged smaller projects
with differences in the composition of the applications or source code. Other
operating system families are Windows and Unix.
