In case you're all still wondering about the french thing:

His nick was "jesuismort" which I assume is "Je suis mort." without spaces. This means "I am dead." I responded by saying (in French) "If you are dead, you can't write software!"

I had always wanted to code a basic kernel in Asm and C, but at the lowest level I could make it entirely object oriented, except exposed to managed code. Can you imagine writing a kernel-mode driver by inheriting from a Driver class? Imagine the ease of device interaction, which is lacking in current manage code.

System.Devices.Cameras(0).TakePicture, for example.

Im sure some coe could be re-used from the mono project, but as said, this is above the time or skill available on this forum.

oh my god, that would OWN.

Being project leader... I resent that.... Although it is the truth.

Its not your fault the project isn't going anywhere TCL... it requires effort by others besides the select few in order to be considered a "community" anything.

Yea, I've done some pretty basic stuff like that, but I want to make something that can do more than echo what you type. I'd like to learn the theory in modern OSs so I can implement some of that and have my OS be semi-useful.

MJ what would you consider to be "semi-useful" ?

I'm guessing reading and printing file contents would be a very good start.

An organized multitasking OS with a decent file system with enough commands to be able to browse through your file system without too much trouble. Furthermore, I'd like it to have a word processor which will allow you to do some simple text-editing, and perhaps get a C-compiler so I can build on that. I know that's a lot, but that's what I consider semi-decent, or at least, that's what I would like to be able to build as a starting point. After that, I would like to build up on it. I have no plan on distributing it, just something that I can learn with. I read about 150 pages of Tanenbaum's book (first edition), but I just couldn't keep my head to it. It got to a point where it was more of a chore than a fun task (yes, I know, reading a programming book for fun is very nerdy). I'd like to pick it back up after school's out, but I can't keep up with it during school days. I have a lot of stuff to do this summer.

Also, thanks for the links, ProjectX.
