Could you define what you mean by "best", please. What criteria are you interested in?

(My own choice would be FreeBSD.)

Similar to Linux but not Linux

Edit:I like how they made FreeBSD!

Well, of course it's similar to Linux. it's a descendant of Unix and Linux was based on Unix. So what? That's true of many OSs.

What do you like about "the way they made it"? That doesn't. Really mean anything to me. Could you explain specifically what you like about it?

I'm sure the best open source kernel the following one, Almost every os developer fork this OS

Code: Select all

// HelloOS 1.0 (Public Domain)

int x=0, y=0;

void kputc(char c) {
    volatile char* video = (volatile char*)0xB8000;
    video[(y*80+x)*2] = c;
    video[(y*80+x)*2+1] = 7;
    if ( (++x) == 80 ) {
        y++; x = 0; // TODO: handle y>24
    }
}

void kputs(const char* s) {
    for ( ; *s; s++ ) kputc(*s);
}

void kmain() {
    kputs ("Hello World!");
    __asm volatile ("hlt");
}

Staying in the Unix world - how about Minix?

I haven't got round to doing that part of my OS yet, but I've often wondered who started this weird tradition?
