Visopsys is an alternative operating system for PC
compatible computers. Under development since late
1997, this system is small, fast, and open source.
It features a simple but functional graphical
interface, real preemptive multitasking, and
virtual memory. Though it attempts to be
compatible in a number of ways, Visopsys is not a
clone of any other operating system. You can demo
the distribution from a "live" CD or floppy disk.
