You need to be skilled especially in the assembler language to be able to create really fast and powerful OS core. Then you're gonna have to write hardware device code, to be able to manipulate the hardware components. When I was studying at the university, I was assigned to the project, where we had to write simple WIN32 hardware device upon an easy VGA graphic card...Hey man, what can I say, that was nightmare!...How someone said in this thread....I'm sure that you don't wanna do this as well..:-) But If you just want to study an LINUX Open source, then go ahead...:-) Good luck in studying   Best wishes JCD JCDenton Joined on Tue, Jul 3 2007 Regular Member 658 Universities

Then you have to load the system itself. You can't make an OS in BASIC or VISUAL BASIC or compatiable compilers because they dont put all the libraries in the software but links to it which is only available to windows. Any way i also want to make my own os. The real problem comes to make libraries for most hardware resourses. michaelkitange Joined on Mon, Mar 17 2008 New Member 01
