Hi,

Just found a great site (someone linked on #osdev) for pointing people in the right direction: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=Operating+System+Development .

:D

Cheers,
Adam

I should perhaps point out that the link is just for fun and the idea isn't that every newcomer gets pointed there indiscriminately :)

Cheers,
Adam

weird, it says I'm the first person to push the little green array next to osdev.org in Google, that can't be right. 8)

The problem is that it leads people back here.

That might be a good idea if the info they seek is already on the site somewhere. The on site search is sometimes less than perfect. Or you could try adding " -osdev.org" to the search string.
