    I would like to see a OS like that in .hack but, the first thing would be to flow chart your process.  Learn a language like Java or some form of C.  Coffee or Tea and make sure to have some Aleve near by and plenty of failures

    This point I want to make is that one does not have to duplicate what others have already done. It depends on your objective. And your timeline.
    If you want a file serve, use Linux code. But if  you are working with model boats, a very different OS would make sense.

    Some years ago an astronomer want to use small computers available at that time. He invented an language and OS now called FORTH.

    An there are other OS that are different that anything else out there

      This is really silly on many levels...

      As noble as it sounds the objective of writing a brand spankin new OS from the ground up is even given the great group of minds here an insurmountable task in and of itself...
      Secondly while intentions may be good on how to go about doing so advisers have never attempted nor probably won't do so in the near future...
      Thirdly...it's now turned into an esoteric discussion of how one should go about it...as it usually does here instead of what it would actually take resource wise to accomplish such a lofty goal...

      That being said i'm by no means trying to discourage the OP...however he hasn't been back for a Month.

        This is all true.  However, I think we showed it isnt easy to do something like that.  Probably gave up on it

          So are you saying that you literally have no experience with any programming topic?
          Well I could program, but that seems like you are using someone's else's work what I want to do that I never seemed able to was buy a new computer with nothing on the hard drive and by just typing letters, commands or different combination's of key strokes start writing your own operating system.
