Hi,
congratulations, good work 8)

Some things:
1.Do your OS have a "HELP" command that will list all of the avaible commands? :)
2.When I try to type a 6 characters long space (with spacebar), it causes an exception PAGE FAULT and it will terminate "sh" (i suppose command line shell?)

Anyway, good work ;)

impressive. was binutils difficult to port? (objdump)
I have parts of newlibc ported to my OS, but i have yet to try and compile any 3rd party apps to run on it yet.

To port binutils you need good standard C libary. I used as libc newlib. I have spent a lot of time to port newlib and binutils :)

Wow. That's pretty advanced (assembler, linker, ls -l support etc)

Subversion is better and has a more permissive licence 8)

:shock: Heretic! Git is the Linux kernel's system of choice! You dare not condemn it! It was written by Linus!

Well, as we all know, Sourceforge has already been excommunicated, and is pending trial of the Inquisition.

I think I should stop reading about the Reformation...

How about using a direct HTTP links instead to pointing to weird sites with lots of materials and stuff God knows what? :D

Hm... It looks like just another UNIX. Do you have anything special to distinguish it? I mean, you've done a lot of work and all, but we already have enough nearly-indistinguishable unices.

Note that I'd say the same thing (and worse) about a windows clone, so I'm not discriminating ;-)
