We've just launched FlingOS : An educational OS

[EdNutting]

We've just launched 30 articles, 10 tutorials videos, our new website and builds of our kernels and compiler. Check it all out at http://www.flingos.co.uk!

I haven't had time to check this out fully yet, but it looks like an extremely useful resource. Thanks for posting this and for all the hard work you and your colleagues have put into it.

About docs. Basic concepts are represented in a good manner. But the OS implementation misses easy steps from the concepts. It would be nice to see more intermediary descriptions between what actually the OS do and the basic concepts.

Also the roots of the OS are not clear. Is it derived from Mono or?

Okay thanks for the feedback. We will review our content in a couple of weeks when everyone's had the chance to send us comments and then we'll update accordingly. If you have any specific examples that'd be great. If not, we'll do our best to reduce the gap between the concepts (/theory) and the implementation.

Probably because there aren't any! I wrote it from scratch (including the compiler). It started out as a self-teach hobby project and has grown into something much larger (and much more awesome). As for Mono, that's an implementation of the .Net Framework for Unix-like systems (Linux/OSX basically). You can't actually build an OS with it. FlingOS isn't trying to re-implement the .Net Framework at an OS level (take a look at Cosmos : https://github.com/CosmosOS/Cosmos who have been working on that for years...many years).
