It was one of the early distributed operating systems.

A distributed operating system manages a group of independent computers and makes them appear to be a single computer.

Plan 9 from Bell Labs is a free software distributed operating system.

For instance, a deep understanding of a distributed operating system's overall architectural and design detail is required at an exceptionally early point.

A distributed operating system's hardware elements spread across multiple locations within a rack, or around the world.

Finally, the distributed operating system requires no pattern; direct and indirect connections are possible between any two elements.

Inferno is a distributed operating system based on three basic principles drawn from Plan 9:

After that he worked for Delta research facility where he led the development of distributed operating systems and supercomputers.

An exhausting array of design considerations are inherent in the development of a distributed operating system.

A number of distributed operating systems were introduced during this period; however, very few of these implementations achieved even modest commercial success.

Fundamental and pioneering implementations of primitive distributed operating system component concepts date to the early 1950s.

The architecture and design of a distributed operating system must realize both individual node and global system goals.

The consideration of transparency directly effects decision making in every aspect of design of a distributed operating system.

Due to the microkernel architecture QNX is also a distributed operating system.

A distributed operating system is a software over a collection of independent, networked, communicating, and physically separate computational nodes.

In a distributed operating system, the exceptional degree of inherent complexity could easily render the entire system an anathema to any user.

This challenge is the distributed operating system's opportunity to produce the foundation and framework for a reliable, efficient, available, robust, extensible, and scalable system.

MOSIX is a distributed operating system.

For example, a distributed operating system may present a hard drive on one computer as "C:" and a drive on another computer as "G:".

In this sense, IPC is the greatest underlying concept in the low-level design considerations of a distributed operating system.

LOCUS was a distributed operating system developed at UCLA during the 1980s.

Amoeba was a distributed operating system developed by Andrew S. Tanenbaum and others at the Vrije Universiteit.

In the CP/CMS era many vendors distributed operating systems in machine-readable source code.

Legion is a computer software system variously classified as a distributed operating system, a peer-to-peer system, metacomputing software, or middleware.

The term Internet operating system has been used distinctly from web operating system, which instead refers to distributed operating systems hosted through Internet services themselves.
