KallistiOS
'''KallistiOS''' ('''KOS''') is a free ([[GPL]]) development system for the [[Sega Dreamcast]] game console created by a team of free software developers over the internet.  It has been used to create both home brew and commercial games such as ''[[Feet of Fury]]'' and ''Inhabitants''.  

Although similar in name, the developers of KallistiOS claim no relationship to the [[warez]] group [[Kalisto]] who pioneered piracy of the Dreamcast by being the first group to discover how to rip Dreamcast GD-ROMs to recordable CD-Rs without the need for a bootdisk.

== Pronounciation ==
[[Kallisti]], meaning "to the fairest" in [[Greek language|Greek]], was the inspiration for naming the system.  Pronounciations include Kallisti-Os (like a [[Cheerios|breakfast cereal]]), Kallisti O.S. (like an operating system), or the short abbreviation, KOS may be pronounced as "[[chaos]]".
