Fiwix is an operating system kernel written from scratch, based on the UNIX architecture and fully focused on being POSIX compatible. It is small in size (less than 50K lines of code), runs on the i386 hardware platform and is compatible with a good base of existing GNU applications. It is based on the monolithic kernel design and it is written entirely in ANSI C language, leaving only for Assembly the small needed parts.
