you should try and learn easier things first and slowly grow to the level of writing an OS
Exactly... there is a difference between filling a need (such as 'nix), and just wanting to write an OS because it seems like the cool thing to do (Again Kilo, this is not about you at all, just me exploring motivations). There are so many threads that read something like "I just started programming..I want to write an OS, or a really cool game". I can't imagine the frustration they must feel when they realize that it is way beyond their reach. (or how often that kind of frustration puts someone off wanting to pursue programming at all).
