Escape is a UNIX-like microkernel operating system which I'm developing since October 2008 as a hobby. It runs on x86 and the two rather exotic architectures ECO32 and MMIX. The kernel provides processes, threads, memory management, a virtual file system and message passing. The userspace consists of drivers/services (ATA/ATAPI, ROM-disk, filesystem with support for ext2 and iso9660, UI-manager, window-manager, virtual terminal, keyboard, mouse, PCI, RTC, VGA, VESA and a few others), libraries (C, C++, GUI and others), simple versions of the well known UNIX tools (ls, ps, cat, head, less, ...) and a GUI.
