Welcome to the Harvey's wiki!

Harvey is a 64 bit distributed operating system under GPL.

For now it runs in x86_64 (amd64) machines. We're improving now the kernel and userland, trying to bring up a full usable operating system, modern and, at the same time, keeping ideas and concepts from other platforms what we consider very interesting. We collected some code and ideas of Plan 9 from Bell Labs, in addition to researching code from NIX and NxM, with some influences from Linux, BSD and in general from Unix world.

Harvey is a general purpose operating system, so every idea you can think could be welcome here. Come and see, and do it by yourself.
