JackOS

JackOS is an operating system that I’ve been working on writing from scratch in my free time for the last few years, though that has involved a few complete rewrites.

It’s being written in C++, and it uses Grub as a bootloader. All it can do at the moment is run some very basic ELF executables loaded into memory with Grub or onto a CD/ROM. It is very far from POSIX compliance, so good luck running anything!

Very slowly, I’m trying to implement more and more of a standard library. At the moment I’m working on graphics, so that I can port some more interesting software.
