Directory of x86 Resources

Home > Computers > Software > Operating Systems > x86

This category holds links on operating systems (OSs) that run on computers, PCs and otherwise, using Intel and compatible x86-based architecture central processor units: CPUs. Main members of the Intel x86 family: 8086, 8088, 80186, 80286; and: IA32: 80386, 80486, 80586 (Pentium), 80686 (Pentium II), 80786 (Pentium III), 80886 (Pentium 4); and: IA64: 80986? (Itanium); and more to come. Some x86 compatibles: AMD (Advanced Micro Devices), Cyrix, Dragon, E2K (Elbrus), Transmeta, Winchip (Centaur, was IDT), etc. Links at the top of this page lead to other directory categories which hold OSs that run on x86s, and often on other architectures, but which have other, more distinctive traits that identify them as members of some class of OS found in the current directory taxonomy. OSs listed in this category are those that, for historic reasons, or the intent of program authors, run on x86s only, and have no other distinctive trait by which to classify them in the current directory taxonomy. These all seem to have monolithic kernels. An OS is listed in this category if there seems no clearer, more specific category for it. This category also has some other links that are hard to fit elsewhere, of which there are always a few.
