myOS

myOS project is minimalistic GNU/Linux based system. Beside the main goal - OpenGL capable, Linux based system without X, I was also looking to make system small and fast as possible, with quick kernel boot and system loading time. By making system small really took care of both since it can run entirely from RAM making it very fast and responsive.

It is bare bones Linux system, stripped down of everything, but core necessary files to compile and run OpenGL/C code. It has simplified directory structure and cleaned up internal cross referencing, it starts up with and in total has only a single script. Linux kernel is 2.6.20, compiled with only essential drivers.

Size can be reduced even more, read this for inspiration:
