Chinese University Released UNIX-like C++ OS

UnixLite, a small UNIX-like operating system written in C++, was released by Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA) in China.

Technical Features of UnixLite System:
Support paging and flat memory model, nearly same as linux
Implements about 80 posix compliant system call
Binary compatible with linux
Able to run bash/gcc, and some other common UNIX tools
Very rudimentary TCP/IP support, able to run a simple http server
