                      Well, Linus didn't start from scratch as you seem to want to do. And there's no need for you to do that. Why don't you take a look at Minix, or Darwin, or OpenSolaris, and look for ways to extend one of those. Then along the way you can change the core to suit your needs - just like Linus did with Minix which eventually became Linux.

                        It is a wonderful read. Sadly, I lent my copy to a former workmate and never got it back. It's my favourite book about Microsoft. Michael CP Blog [^] Development Blog [^]

                          Linus just wrote the kernel. The rest of the OS (C compiler, command line tools, etc.) were already done by the GNU project. Do you really want to write your own OS? Own memory management, own threading support? Own C runtime? Own compiler(s)? Own user interface? Own applications (like file manager etc.)? Nobody can do ALL of that.

                                  I'm afraid Singularity will never make it out of the lab... It's a competitor to Windows from Microsoft you're talking about...

                                    If you're serious, check out this[^] book for starters. Browsing through thru the Linux source code can also be educational, though not easy. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

                                      Don't listen to the nay-sayers. After all, Linux started with just one person. I say however, its gonna require a lot of study, and I mean A LOT. And plenty of work -- too much for one person in fact. It's best to either start a group or join one if you want to make a full-fledged OS. If you're looking to join one, then this project would surely love help and you can learn so much from then. http://www.reactos.org/xhtml/en/index.html[^] Jeremy Falcon

                                        Well, Linus didn't start from scratch as you seem to want to do. And there's no need for you to do that. Why don't you take a look at Minix, or Darwin, or OpenSolaris, and look for ways to extend one of those. Then along the way you can change the core to suit your needs - just like Linus did with Minix which eventually became Linux.

                                        Well, if you'd like to build your own kernel. Which I guess you'd want to at some point. The book "Hackin the Linux Kernel" is quite good. Of course it's specific to Linux but you will learn a helluva lot about the organization of an OS kernel even if your own design is very different from Linux/Unix/Minix/Solaris/Darwin. And you also need all the theoretical knowledge you can get from books like Tannenbaum's "Modern Operating Systems", or Silberschatz's "Operating System Concepts". I like the latter, but many enjoy, well love even, Tannenbaum so your mileage may wary. I've heard good stuf about Stalling's "Operating Systems : Internals and Design Principles" as well, but I have not read it so I cannot really comment on that one. There's also "Writing Your Own Toy OS" to get you started: Writing Your Own Toy OS (Part I) http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue77/krishnakumar.html[^] Writing Your Own Toy OS (PART II) http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue79/krishnakumar.html[^] Writing your own Toy OS - Part III http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue82/raghu.html[^] -- modified at 8:23 Thursday 5th January, 2006

                                          I'm afraid Singularity will never make it out of the lab... It's a competitor to Windows from Microsoft you're talking about...

                                          The chanel9 presentations I saw showed an OS that wasn’t capable of really anything. They have a few hard coded apps to do specific tasks (no UI) and not much of a framework to extend it. I just think the idea is interesting that’s all.
