Live Demo CD of Microkernel-Based TUD:OS Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the yet-another-contender-in-the-os-sweepstakes dept.

Norman Feske writes "The OS Group of Technische Universität Dresden (TUD:OS) has released a live demo CD of their custom operating system project. TUD:OS is a microkernel-based operating system targeted at secure and real-time systems. Some highlights of the demo CD include a new approach for securing graphical user interfaces called Nitpicker, multiple L4Linux kernels running at the same time on top of a custom L4 microkernel, a survey on the reuse of device drivers on the TUD:OS platform, native Qt-applications, the DOpE windowing system, games, and a lot more. More information is available at the demo CD website demo.tudos.org. And yes, there are screenshots, too!"

    They keep having to rewrite it, because the hardware is improving faster than the ability of EMACS to bog it down.

    So why do the turn indicators on Mercs and BMWs never work?

    Based purely on observation, I'd guess it has something to do with radio interference from the drivers' cell phones.
