I don't where to put gdt, is linear address a valid address?
I don't know also where to put the interrupt handlers!
How big must a stack be?
How to implement a communication between task witch don't share memory?
Thanks!

I don't know the exact mininum is but I believe that a stack has
to be a few bytes long to function

gdt is Global Descroptor Table and is used for memory management in Protected Mode
