Running Inferno OS | InstallOS

Inferno is an operating system for creating and supporting distributed services. Originally developed by Bell Labs in the 1990s as a conceptual successor to Plan 9, the rights to Inferno were later acquired by Vita Nuova Holdings, which continued its development and commercialization. Designed to run on various architectures and on top of other operating systems as a virtual environment, it utilizes the Limbo programming language and Dis, its native virtual machine, allowing applications to run independently of the underlying hardware.

The name of the operating system and its associated programs, as well as the Vita Nuova company that produced it, are inspired by the literary work of Dante Alighieri, particularly the Divine Comedy.

Unlike conventional systems, Inferno stands out for its use of the Styx protocol, based on Plan 9's 9P, for communication between processes and distributed systems, making it ideal for applications in networking, IoT, and embedded devices. Its minimalist and highly modular approach continues to influence modern projects, serving as a visionary experiment in distributed computing.
