Welcome to

^(alpha)Foton!^(workname)

This is a similar project as Cyjon/Fern-Night, but compatibility will no longer be fully supported.

Simple project of multitasking operating system for 64-bit processors from x86_64 family.

A system that is detached from reality. Fully resident in memory. (Yep, no installation on hard drive needed.)

In near future, a website will be created that will be responsible for configuring system just for you.

You will be able to create your own system profiles, and build your own compilation of a set of programs, appearances, etc. as an easy-to-use ISO image.
