OSNews, Generic OSes As a programmer and manager of embedded software products for a living, I think that operating system programming is so much fun that it will eventually be outlawed. I've previously published two articles on OSNews, So, you want to write an operating system and Climbing the kernel mountain, and tried to summarize my experience in designing operating system kernels as well as technical traps that can be easily avoided.

... i will continue on my OS - which is actually more than only a custom *kernel*. Why? I already get my hands dirty with day-to-day software development, so delving into kernel and OS land is something different(tm) and intrigueing.

I 've got no hankering to reach any market with it nor will I ever attract any so called team mates to my project.

stay safe folks.

@emmanuel marty: you are correct, there is no need for doing it. But to *understand* whats going on behind the veil, it's something essential. :-) having done such a thing f. ex. gives one a huuuge training in debugging and finding logical mistakes (which a compiler usually never finds).
