This category is for operating systems (OSs) with two main traits, they: 1) Have an object-oriented, or highly component-oriented architecture. 2) Are open source. Other OSs go elsewhere.
On this page, OSs are arranged in two groups and levels: 1) Top group: OSs for which there are more than one instance of an OS of this name/type, an OS family. 2) Bottom group: specific OSs, individual instances; there is only one OS of this name/type.

Modular object-oriented application to index files across networks. Has plug-in type data retrieval system, webserver, peer-to-peer connections for network-wide information gathering, retrieval; has features of OSs, database management systems, distributed networking. Open Source, GPL.
Official site of GNUstep: free implementation of NeXTStep/OpenStep specification.
Collaborative undertaking by an international group of Java programmers and enthusiasts to create free Java OS. [Open Source]
Object-oriented OS uses best parts of VMS, Unix, Windows NT. Almost everything in kernel is an object (threads, processes, devices, files, event flags, more) to which one can assign logical names. [Open Source]
Tool designed to teach inner workings of operating systems: simple animated simulated OS and hardware coded in Java. RCOS successor.
Lightweight, very modular component-based, multitasking, embedded OS; developed, used for many research projects. Goal: manage fast data streams in multimedia environments; for speed and low overhead has zero copy architecture: passes pointer references to data instead of copying it. [Open Source, GPL]
Minimal OS kernel for PC based server appliances. Lets you run java server applications without need to install host OS, only need normal Java HotSpot VM and Sanos. Description, documents, downloads, manifesto, links, contact. [Open Source, BSD]
Goal: create modern 32/64-bit OS, based on ideas of object-orientation, nanokernel; coded in C++, C and Assembly where needed. Open source, BSD.
Object Operating System, OOS, pronounced ooze; goal: create new OS architecture, which uses filesystem to do many jobs usually done via various means. Design philosophy inspired by Unix, Plan 9, but does many things uniquely, trades compatibility for simplicity. [Freecode]
