Where could I find the Linux kernel source? I've checked the website but I can't find it(I must be blind)

http://www.kernel.org/

Second hit on google, search terms 'Linux Source Code'.

Cheers,

.....sigh.......

I don't (for people like me) recommend looking at the latest version, it's way too complex and takes >10 min to compile on Duo Core processors.

I looked at version 0.01, found on osdever.net under downloads->kernels.

Would I be able to test ubuntu on Bochs or Qemu?

Define "Test", If you're testing for performance.. use a real PC, because emulation is almost always insanely slow.

It will work though, obviously..

I started this project several years ago and then revived it. This code is based on a mix of early and modern linux. And in theory, early linux is loosely based on minix. I used a lot of the same code and data structures and am only concentrating on a floppy/harddrive/keyboard drive. So far the code base is about 12,000 lines of code which is a lot less than probably the million(s?) in the linux 2.6. My code compiles, runs some of the interrupts, hopefully I can get the filesystem and actually run some applications.

Compiles with a modern GCC (4)

Octane OS.

(Actually, it compiled yesterday, I broke the build the other day, but should be compilable this afternoon or tomorrow)

Linux kernel code really isn't that bad once you know what's going on. Since the weather outside is nasty, I took the time to writeup a little intro on the Wiki. Linux Kernel Primer.

I tried to keep my opinion of this out as much as possible, but anything earlier than 2.2 is likely to cause brain damage to the reader.

I found this also, but a lot of the work seems to be in chinese.
