Syllable is a free and open source operating system for Pentium and compatible processors. Its purpose is to create an easy-to-use desktop operating system for home and small office users. Syllable Desktop is optimized for personal computers, while Syllable Server is optimized for server computers and is based on the Linux kernel. Both systems are meant to work together and share similar tools and interfaces to provide an integrated network platform, though Syllable Server currently only has a text-based interface.
