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.

"Point is that if someone wants to write his/her own kernel and has fun doing so, he/she should do so and not think about economical impact. If Linus had done so we wouldn't have Linux now."
I thought I recalled that Linus developed Linux directly for the economical impact? Wasn't he upset that minix wasn't free nor free?
As an aside, I rather imagined my 'filesystem thingy' would be extending an existing OS, not an excuse to write a hobby OS to encapsulate.
When you have an OS, you make a choice in file system schematics: UNIX-like, VMS-like, MS-DOS-like, etc etc. Putting forward other ideas (Internet-like) is just scratching my itch ;-)
