The legacy of Pronin Software Distribution / Proninx.

FNU / OpenProninx

OpenProninx is a native x86-64 operating system with its own boot code, kernel, userspace, and QEMU disk images. It continues the PRONINX project formerly developed by Pronin Software Distribution; Foundry Tech Inc. is its successor.

The project is deliberately small and explicit about its boundary. It is not a Linux distribution, hypervisor, container runtime, cluster manager, router, or data-centre control plane. Its source is available under the permissive BSD 3-Clause License.

Core 0.1.0-dev. The current baseline is Core 0.1.0-dev. It is not and must not be exposed to an untrusted network or used for confidential data.

Current capabilities

The QEMU console starts PSH, the local interactive shell. Native programs include ls, cat, cp, wc, top, mkdir, filesystem tests, and FNU status commands.

status, services, and health provide local system observations.
start health, stop health, and restart health operate the registered health service.
adduser [-w] NAME creates a local account; useradd is an equivalent spelling.
fnu-init starts the local fnusvc supervisor, which manages PSH and fnu-health.

Service snapshots and the supervisor command queue are volatile kernel-state devices. They reset at boot, are not an audit log, and provide no authentication, durability, or concurrent-writer guarantees.
