Abstract—This talk introduces the work to create a commercial desktop operating system based on FreeBSD. Since FreeBSD has a friendly license, it is one of the best options to create an operating system with unique features from scratch. To create such operating systems based on FreeBSD, particularly for commercial desktops, there are two major aspects need be considered: firstly, how to support the existing commercial software; secondly, how to support the latest hardware platforms. This paper presents the challenges and proposes the solutions to create a successful commercial operating system, particularly for specific domains. Such experiences can also help people who desire to create their own OS based on FreeBSD.
