The Möbius operating system is an open-source operating system for the Intel i386 and compatibles. The author makes the following claims for it:

Möbius has been designed as a good modern OS. Its main goals are:
* To be extensible enough so that it is easy to modify it for new devices and technologies
* To keep the kernel as small and modular as possible
* To support existing applications where possible
* To remain easy enough to use that users can install and configure a Möbius system
without having to learn it

If it lives up to these claims it could become a real competitor to Linux which, the author states, "is struggling to keep up with modern OS concepts".

[edit] Notes

It is necessary to use gunzip to decompress the file. The author suggests using WinImage or Cygwin to write the disk image. It is also possible to use the DOS program RaWrite.
