Versions 2.6.16 and 2.6.27 of the Linux kernel were unofficially given long-term support (LTS), [302] before a 2011 working group in the Linux Foundation started a formal long-term support initiative.
Linux distributions that have highly modified kernels — for example, real-time computing kernels — should be listed separately. There are also a wide variety of minor BSD operating systems, many of which can be found at comparison of BSD operating systems.
Linux as a kernel is just a part of an operating system, whereas the whole operating system is basically the GNU system [6] [7] Several distributions of operating systems containing the Linux kernel use the name that the FSF prefers, such as Debian, [8] Trisquel [9] and Parabola GNU/Linux-libre. [10] Others claim that GNU/Linux is a useful name ...

UNICOS/mp: not derived from UNICOS, but based on IRIX 6.5. Used on ...
Location of the "O(1) scheduler" (a process scheduler) in a simplified structure of the Linux kernel. An O(1) scheduler (pronounced "O of 1 scheduler", "Big O of 1 scheduler", or "constant time scheduler") is a kernel scheduling design that can schedule processes within a constant amount of time, regardless of how many processes are running on the operating system.
