Project Summary
Sortix is a hobby operating system. It was originally created as a tool to learn more about kernel and operating system design and implementation. Today it is gradually transforming into a real operating system. The standard library and kernel is rich enough that some third party software can and has been ported to Sortix. While the system remains limited, there have been added support for bitmap graphics and proper filesystem support is being worked on. Unfortunately there is no support for networking yet. The current release ships with various test programs, utility programs and a few games and has support for rendering the console in graphics mode.
