REX OS

The REX Operating System (Real-Time Executive Operating System) is an RTOS developed by Qualcomm for the ARM-based mobile phone Dual-Mode Subscriber Station (DMSS) or Advanced Mode Subscriber Software (AMSS) development. As of 2007 most Korean cell phones run on REX.

REX is an L4A Pistachio embedded micro-kernel and Iguana operating system combination and has extensive Qualcomm and HTC modifications and extensions.

Originally developed for the Intel 80186 it was then ported to ARM and x86 architectures are no longer supported. REX is not POSIX compliant or open source and requires a license from Qualcomm for use.

It does not seem to be actively developed or marketed as of 2012 but is used in currently or recently sold low end cell phones, typically for use by pay-as-you-go customers, like the Samsung SPH-M300.

Debian

Debian (/ˈdɛbiən/) is a Unix-like computer operating system that is composed entirely of free software, most of which is under the GNU General Public License, and packaged by a group of individuals known as the Debian Project. Three main branches are offered: Stable, Testing and Unstable.

The Debian Stable distribution is one of the most popular for personal computers and network servers, and has been used as a base for several other Linux distributions. The Debian Testing and Unstable branches are rolling release and eventually become the stable distribution after development and testing (Unstable becomes Testing, and Testing becomes Stable).

Debian was first announced in 1993 by Ian Murdock, Debian 0.01 was released in August 1993, and the first stable release was made in 1996. The development is carried out over the Internet by a team of volunteers guided by a project leader and three foundational documents: the Debian Social Contract, the Debian Constitution, and the Debian Free Software Guidelines. New distributions are updated continually, and the next candidate is released after a time-based freeze.
