# ClassicOS
|
|
|
|
This operating system uses standard operating system concepts used in the 32 bit environment. It will eventually be ported to 64 bit including IA64.
|
|
This ClassicOS operating system, aims to support major hardware and software technology existing from when the first 32 bit systems appeared on the market through the early 2000's and most of those have been listed below.
|
|
|
|
## Programming
|
|
|
|
This project uses the C library and Assembly language.
|
|
|
|
## Toolchain

|
|
1-2 people working on applications/user-space
|
|
1-2 people working on Networking
|
|
1-2 people working on memmory issues, stack issues, etc.
|
|
|
|
at least one person doing hardware and software testing and writing tests in a test framework
|
|
|
|
At least one major bug fix a week
|
|
