The Haiku kernel is a modular hybrid kernel and a fork of NewOS, a modular kernel written by former Be Inc. engineer Travis Geiselbrecht. Like the rest of the system, it is currently still under heavy development. Many features have been implemented, including a virtual file system (VFS) layer and rudimentary symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) support. , Haiku includes a package management system called "Haiku Depot," enabling software to be compiled into dependency tracking compressed packages. Packages can also be activated
