Hi I'm new here, and I was wondering where I should start in developing a UN*X like system. Should I look at early Linux Versions, or Minix? I want to make a UN*X like system because of the available GNU tools out, I just want to make the kernel. Thank you!

Thanks but is that the best way, just to look at other systems?

I think it is not a good idea to study an open source project if you do not know the basics. You should start to learn all you need, such as assembler, knowlegde about protected mode or at least about the processor you use, and so on.
You want to develop an unix-clone, so of course you need very deep knowlegde about unix systems ( even in the beginning ), so maybe you should look on this, too.

I have tried myself, the guide that GLneo psoted and the code is not only very sloppy but doesnt even compile without modifications and there are tons of dead links...
