Hi,

I'm thining of writing an OS for my final year project at University but
I havn't got a clue where to start. I was hoping someone on here could
give me some good places on the net to look at or advise me on some good
books to read on the subject?

I've been using Linux as my primary OS for nearly six years now and have
realised that OS programming (and low level programming in general) is
one area of programming that I really don't know much about.

The problem with Universities these days is that they only teach high
level stuff and I imagine it would be pretty tough to write an OS in
Java or, heaven forbid, C#! Ideally, I would want to write one in C++ as
that's my main language of choice (plus, I've ever even looked at C)
what is your opinion on this?

Thanks,

Darrell
