Three New Interesting Operating Systems

AROS Icaros

Not an OS per se, but a desktop environment that allows you to run old Amiga software; it allows full emulation for Amiga software without the need for ROMs, in the latest version.

Icaros Desktop

Whonix

This is an interesting concept of an OS, the user runs inside of a virtual machine where all the internet traffic is automatically routed through TOR. Somehow I doubt this will come to as great of use as it should, simply because running a VM is very costly, especially through VirtualBox (which this is), maybe if it were running on Xen. The project just got released so there is still time for improvement!

FreeBSD 9.1

The latest FreeBSD has been released (FreeBSD is the thing Apple based OSX on). New in this release are

• Xen ethernet driver
