I found a great tutorial for beginners: http://en.skelix.org/skelixos/
It's a step-by-step C/ASM tutorial that covers, boot strapping, writing to the screen, input handling, paging, task switching, syscalls, and loading flat binaries from disks.
I found this while googling and thought I should share!

That just tells you your anti-virus heuristics are probably working.
Especially with all the hardware virtualization coming, I don't think it's that old-fashioned to consider boot-viruses a potential threat.

The real problem with goto is not with the control transfer, but with environments. Properly tail-recursive closures get both right.
