Format drive and install one of the following operating systems:

• BeOS
• Syllable
• AROS
• Plan 9
• Minix
• FreeDOS
• DR-DOS
• OpenVMS x86 port is coming!
• Visopsys
• SqueakNOS
• Haiku
• Kolibri
• ReactOS
• Tizen
• SkyOS
• MorphOS
• MenuetOS
• CP/M 86
• Multics, also see Multicians
• Erlang as an Operating System

There have been a large number of more or less obscure operating systems and not all have been ported to x86. Unfortunately the architecture has become a de facto standard even though it's not the best architecture or the most efficient but instead a patchwork of solutions to retain backwards compatibility. We have lost many interesting architectures over the years that would have deserved a better fate to the Intel bandwagon.

Also btw for those who don't know, MorphOS for mac: http://www.morphos-team.net/in...

What's MorphOS anyway?

Icaros Desktop is an AROS environment with more things, like DOpus 5. The coolest feature in it is that actual AROS has been ported to m68k so now they can run emulate an m68k running their own open-source version of AmigaOS and run m68k AmigaOS software that way without requireing copies of the Kickstart ROM and AmigaOS.

Again one of those websites which are sprinkled with links having only the text "here" or "this page". Go there, see here, this, that, everywhere. You don't as quickly see where the links are pointing, and it kind of feels like pushing the reader around. Just for a comparison...

So much nicer to read.

Totally agree. Also makes the site more accessible as visually impaired users may iterate over hyperlinks only.

http://www.morphos-team.net/ http://aros.sourceforge.net/ http://os4.hyperion-entertainment.biz/ Some light reading. Of course I am not suggesting that they are leading the pack anymore, but they are not dead. I'm also not going to beat the drum of monopolistic business practice that was the true hallmark of MS success, as we all know this to be the case.

Don't forget MorphOS, which is an Amiga clone.

Also don't forget Haiku, which is a clone of BeOS.
