List of Operating Systems

List of Operating Systems

For interested persons is this list, in order to specify as much as possible operating systems already existing. Who would like to know whether the operating system with the name xyz really exists or has existed, this is a excellent source to start. Commercial, free, open source and operating systems developed at universities as well as their derivatives are included. It does not take place a distinction after the level of development, application purpose, distribution or hardware platform. Operating systems with only different version numbers are considered only if they are technically clearly different to each other.

This list offers hundreds of operating system product and project names, many of them are based on the same operating system more or less with more or less differences in the source code. The most operating systems can be traced to few development lines and derive from a small amount of system software. This applies especially to Linux distributions with a low number of main distributions. Further projects which largely use the same code base have forged to new distributions. Depending of this there forged smaller projects with differences in the composition of the applications or source code. Other operating system families are Windows and Unix.

ABOUT Splashtop

At Splashtop, we have a long history of shipping a range of customized versions of our lightweight Splashtop OS embedded in myriad devices from the leading PC OEMs. But back at the end of November, we released something groundbreaking for the company – a downloadable version of Splashtop OS. While this initial release was greeted with positive fanfare from the tech press, it was still just a “beta” that supported a fairly narrow set of HP hardware platforms. Our intent has always been to broaden support, build on user feedback, and release a stable version 1.0.
Well, today’s the day – introducing Splashtop OS 1.0, available for download now.
What is it?  Splashtop OS is a lightweight, web-centric operating system optimized for notebooks and netbooks, that can be installed on virtually any Windows-based PC. Rather than trying to replace Windows as a stand-alone operating system, we like to think of Splashtop OS as an ideal Windows ‘companion’ – it’s there super-fast whenever you just need to get to the web, while Windows remains intact for those other times when you want a full desktop computing environment.
Splashtop OS 1.0 takes advantage of all the insights and technical advancements we’ve made over the years in developing instant-on solutions. For example, we often times bundled multiple applications along with the OS, such as a photo viewer or music player, but have learned over time that the core application that drives the vast majority of usage is – no surprise –the browser. So with Splashtop OS, we focused on making the browsing experience really great. In fact, the browser is the UI, so right away
it looks and feels completely familiar and intuitive. Within seconds of powering up, the web search box that all of us use almost daily pops up front-and-center. (We default to Bing search, our worldwide search partner announced last November.)

Java founder Gosling joins Google

Java founder James Gosling has taken a job with Google, he revealed in a blog post on Monday.
"Through some odd twists in the road over the past year, and a tardis encountered along the way, I find myself starting employment at Google today," Gosling wrote. "One of the toughest things about life is making choices. I had a hard time saying 'no' to a bunch of other excellent possibilities."
[ InfoWorld's Paul Krill reported earlier this month that Gosling believes Oracle's self-interest requires good stewardship of Java. | Keep up with the latest Java developments with the JavaWorld Enterprise Java newsletter. ]
"I don't know what I'll be working on," he added. "I expect it'll be a bit of everything, seasoned with a large dose of grumpy curmudgeon."
Gosling left Oracle last year after it purchased Sun Microsystems, the company where he created Java, the now-ubiquitous programming language. While initially somewhat vague about the reasons for his departure, Gosling later told eWeek that the reasons included inadequate compensation and an atmosphere of micromanagement.
His arrival at Google comes as the company is being sued by Oracle over alleged Java patent and copyright infringements in its Android OS. That matter and others have raised tensions in the Java community of late.

Yahoo to release code for selected technologies to open source community

Yahoo plans to release some technologies, including storage technologies, to the open source community, a senior executive of the company said.

These are systems that Yahoo built to help it handle large numbers of users on its websites, but that don't necessarily give it a competitive advantage, said David Chaiken, chief architect at Yahoo, in an interview in Bangalore on Friday.

[ Get your websites up to speed with HTML5 today using the techniques in InfoWorld's HTML5 Deep Dive PDF how-to report. | Learn how to secure your Web browsers in InfoWorld's "Web Browser Security Deep Dive" PDF guide. ]

In 2009, Yahoo donated its Traffic Server scalable caching proxy to the Apache Software Foundation.

A working group on open source at Yahoo is currently evaluating technologies that could qualify to be released to open source.

The company has to first make sure that each of the technologies will really be useful and provide significant value outside Yahoo, before releasing it to open source, Chaiken said. It takes time and effort to go through the open source process, and to build a community around open source, so the company has to first make sure there will be interest from developers, he added.

Releasing technology to the open source community helps Yahoo build recognition and a technical brand in the technical community, as well as develop relationships with universities and companies, Chaiken said. There could also be some financial benefits in getting community developers to work on a project, he added.

Top 10: Anti Virus Software

10- AVG Free
One of the best of the free antivirus programs, AVGFree is designed to be very easy to use, and it is. Some users actually consider it a little too easy to use, however, and prefer something a little more customizable, like, say…
9- Avast! Home Edition
Avast’s website really pushes the Pro edition of this package, but the free home edition is, honestly, all you need. It offers a little more than AVG in the way of options and features. Of course… some say that Avast has a few too many bells and whistles without really being a full security program, and they recommend…
8- Avira AntiVir
Avira AntiVir may very well be the best of the free antivirus programs. It’s easy to use without being too dumbed down, and most importantly, it gets daily updates, if not several updates in a single day, ensuring the most up to date database of known viruses anywhere.
7- Panda
Panda offers a few security programs, and their antivirus is amongst some of the best bargain priced virus software. It gets regular updates and it gets the job done, with user friendliness to boot.
6- Kaspersky Anti-Virus
Kaspersky tends to get great reviews with just one little trifle- It can eat up a lot of memory. However, if you’re virus savvy and know how to reduce exposure, you should be able to keep the scanner from getting too busy, saving your RAM in the process.
5- G-Data Antivirus
G-Data is designed as a no nonsense virus killer. No bells and whistles, no fancy interface, just easy to use, automatic updates, a wide database of known viruses, and great results.
4- McAfee Security Center
Simply put, McAfee might well be the only security software you ever need to buy. It covers spam, viruses, Trojans, popups, you name it, and all in one, easy to use package.
3- Vipre Antivirus and Antispyware
Don’t forget, viruses aren’t all you have to worry about. Vipre isn’t quite a full package, but it does a great job against both viruses and spyware.
2- F Secure Anti Virus
F Secure is great when it comes to two things: User interface, and updates. It gets daily updates, and it’s easy to use, making for a great little virus killer.
1- ESET Nod32
ESET Nod32 is a great combo of firewall and virus scanner. It also defends against spyware, adware, spam, popups, and so on.
