1. Linux：
Linux是由Linus Torvalds开发的一组类似于Unix的开源操作系统。它是Linux发行版的打包。一些最常用的Linux发行版是Debian，Fedora和Ubuntu。它基本上是用C语言和汇编语言编写的。 Linux中使用的内核是Monolithic内核。 Linux发行版的目标系统是云计算，嵌入式系统，移动设备，个人计算机，服务器，大型计算机和超级计算机。 1991年发布了第一个Linux版本。
2.地狱：
Inferno是由Vita Nuova Holdings提供的分布式操作系统。它是一个免费的操作系统。它是使用C和Limbo编写的。它的目标系统是NAS，服务器和嵌入式系统。它可以跨多种硬件，网络和环境进行移植。 Inferno的第一个版本于1997年推出。它是由Bell Labs的计算机科学研究部门开发的。它是一个开源操作系统。它的内核类型是单片的。
