A New Operating System

Why would you post a link to your blog promoting the fact that you're thinking about writing an OS? That's like me posting a link to my blog promoting a startup I haven't thought of the idea for yet.

I've been tinkering with operating system programming for a few years now (yikes, has it really been 5?) in my spare time. It's an interesting hobby, and I actually got a job partly because of it. :)<p>I'm interested in hearing more about this project of yours, and possibly contributing to it.

For anyone interested in OSes, I recommend the EROS, Sun Spring, Singularity, and Synthesis papers; they are signposts outside the well-explored Unix/VMS territory.

How about an exokernel?<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exokernel" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exokernel</a>

Here's the basic problem: you're writing an operating system. Stop doing that. It's 2008.
