Syllable is a free software hobby operating system for Intel x86 Pentium and compatible processors. Its purpose is to create an easy-to-use desktop operating system for the home and small office user. It was forked from the stagnant AtheOS in July 2002.
It has a native web browser (ABrowse), email client (Whisper), media player, IDE, and many more applications.
Features include:
- A native 64-bit journaled file system, the AtheOS File System (usually called AFS), which should not be confused with the "other" AFS, Andrew file system.
- C++ oriented API
- Legacy-free, object-oriented graphical desktop environment on a native GUI architecture
- Mostly POSIX compliant
- Many software ports (Emacs, Vim, Perl, Python, Apache etc.)
- GNU toolchain (GCC, Glibc, Binutils, Make)
- Pre-emptive multitasking with multithreading
- Symmetric multiprocessing (multiple processor) support
- Drivers for most common hardware (video, sound, network chips)
The latest version is 0.6.1, released on May 10, 2006.
