Program an OS based on Linux Kernel

Post by Mbeentjes »

Hello,

I have a dream to create and operating system. Today I decided to start that dream.

Now have I read about programming a kernel, but I am interested in the possibilities of using the Linux Kernel. How do I use that kernel?

I think that you've come to the wrong place. You don't want to write an Operating System, you want to create a custom Linux distribution.

Google "Linux From Scratch" and sign on to a few Linux forums.

Hello,

I have a dream to speak a Bantu language. Today I decided to start that dream.

Now have I read about speaking Bantu languages, but I am interested in the possibilities of speaking Swahili in particular. How do I speak Swahili?
