There are much less mainstream options out there for the OS-curious. These alternative operating systems are usually developed either by enthusiasts or small companies (or both), and there are more of them than you might expect. There are even more than we have included in this article, though we think this is a good selection of the more interesting ones and we have focused specifically on desktop operating systems.

Linux-Kongress 2008 attendees had the opportunity to hear two different sessions dedicated to organizations trying to improve the state of Linux support for embedded and mobile systems. They have similar goals, but are taking different approaches and have different levels of resources available to them. The first of these is OpenSourceEmbedded, presented by uClinux developer Jeff Dionne. He opened with a statement that, ten years ago, Linux-based embedded systems were nearly unknown. Now those systems are everywhere, with hundreds of millions of deployments. Embedded systems, he says, make up the largest installed base of Linux systems.

No, I don't have pictures - I never even thought of bringing a camera. But on Thursday, we had a party, mostly organized by Simon(thanks!), and all in all Systems 2007 was a great experience.

Clearly, demand for such systems are rising.

Relevance: 3.82
Zero Install is one of the more promising alternatives to native package systems for Linux distributions, such as RPM and Debian's dpkg. Originally developed by Thomas Leonard, a professor in the Department of Electronics and Computing at the University of Southampton, it begins with a criticism of existing package systems the difficulties of using them, and is built to provide an answer to the problems raised by the critique. However, like other alternative package systems, it faces the problems of winning acceptance from the major distributions and fine-tuning its features.
