Overview
TacOS is an operating system design for the Intel x86 architecture, built on top of a monolithic kernel running in protected mode. A dedicated C library is also developed in the meantime. This project has been initiated during a tutored project by a group of students and has been since then maintained in their spare time by some of them. The objective is entirely educational and two new groups are working on adding a graphical user interface and developing a more advanced shell. Source code is freely available under the GPL license.
