World's Samllest Real OS

It's amazing, but there's a real operating system that does multitasking, networking, provides a GUI and runs on a C64. It actually looks pretty cool. Check it out at http://www.sics.se/~adam/contiki/

You can see screenshots and get a file suitable for use on your C64 emulator should you wish.

I'm impressed! There's even ported version for VIC20 and Gameboy! This may not be practical for end-users, but geeks and researchers can have a field day with this. I especially like the little sensor board setup. Yow! smile.gif

This is the kind of developmet that will bring on the age of 'small is big' poewr machines. Its increadable that an OS can be configured to use very low CPU resources. When you look at OS like Microsoft that is GUI frontended - OS usually take up a large chunk of Memory and CPU.

Will look forward to a time when an implant in my molars and a VDU implanted in my eye is all I require to access the internet, communicate with people worldwide and do complex computing processess in my mouth.. tongue.gif

This IS practical for end users. For the few people still using C64, this is a nice, user-friendly environment that's far nicer than anything else except for maybe GEOS. But GEOS is older, bigger and has less features... The sensor usage is impractical, but on a computer like C64 or Apple II, it's great.

I agree. I looked at the screen shots for it and the funny thing is that it looks a lot like the early days of Mac OS. huh.gif huh.gif However, I didn't like the early Mac OS's so I doubt that I would like this one..

Structurally it's more like AmigaOS than it is like MacOS. And that's a VERY good thing.

Yeah, I always forget that there are some of those still in some form of everyday use. I remember when Commodore in West Chester, PA shut down and they auctioned everything off. Sometimes I forget that they are still out there.

How many modules/programs does it support?

What is the size of the os altogether?

Just feeding up my curiosity.

That Desktop menu on the right reminded me of the good times I had messing with the now open-sourced GEM/3. Those were good times.

oh why did I have to throw away that Commodore sad.gif . Sigh, never grew up with it, but sometimes I wish I had.

I would have loved to try out this litlle OS on a commo, back to basic, no fancy graphics, no real images, just a lot of simple lines and dots tongue.gif .

That website doesn't say anything about it's size, the only thing I found was the daily snapshots, they are 1.3mb. I don't think this is much of a real OS, not one you could post here on. Stuff like DSL (Damn Small Linux) are smallest, proper operating systems.
