    Operating System design and kernel

    I'm a C/C++/ASM programmer and I'm planning to write an OS.
    So I need to know about some good (I should say BEST here) books on "OS design and kernel" and anything else related to OS development.

    Please tell me the name of "good" books or online tutorials (related to OS development) which you techies will refer to me.

    THANKS TO EVERYONE IN ADVANCE........ ........

    Search for Andrew S. Tanenbaum "Minix the Operating System" book. He
    discusses all aspects of an OS and even builds a small micro kernel using
    message passing all over. Very readable.

    kind regards,

    Jos

          THANK YOU VERY MUCH, JosAH. I'm going to buy Andrew S. Tanenbaum "Minix the Operating System" book very soon as you suggested.

            You're welcome; another good one is"Fundamenta ls of Operating Systems" by
            Andew M. Lister. It is a bit biased towards the theoretical aspects of what an
            OS should do and how it should do it.

            kind regards,

            Jos

                  Nope, not that I know of; sometimes people get really enthousiastic in the
                  embedded world (the small CPUs and small amounts of memory etc) and try
                  to come up with something fancy so they throw it in the public domain but
                  for any serious work: no.

                          I'm glad that it helped you.....
                          Well, as I can see, you are probably interested in writing an Operating System. If so, then please tell me. I do have similar plans and more importantly "I'M SERIOUS ABOUT IT".

                          If our opinions match, then we might be of much help to each other.

                          Tell me if you have similar intentions.
