    I need Help big time!

    I am a beginner Linux user. Also I am a programmer but as skilled as most. Simply because I have only a year of Programming under my belt at ITT Tech. Anyway, I need to know how to creat an operating system. I thought about linux since you could download the sorce code and re-configure the code. The reason, I have came up with a golden idea for all Operating Systems. What if you could do many up many applications as much as you wanted to without the computer ever slowing down, freezing or crashing? I have the answer and researched to see if my method would even work. It does. However, I cannot put this onto a CD because once installed, it will try re-configue the Operating System and that is when problems will happen. So, I need to create an OS from scratch with this program on there. That is when I thought of Linux and how I could use it as my lab rat. So please if anyone would help me understand how to write an Operating System, I would be in dept to that person or persons.

    especially "Modern Operating Systems" (ISBN:

    I need more Help Please.

    Can some one please teach me how to understand what the code means in the Linux Operating System. What I mean is, I know what language it is written in, but I do not howver understand the language or know how to read it. So I need help in understanding the launguage so that after awhile, I can then write my Operating System with my program on it. Who ever helps me, when I'm done I will give you the program for free and the sorce code to do with it what ever you want. Please help me. If I don't hurry, my Idea will have already come out and I will be screwed. Please help me. Please.

    if you work alone it's an impossible quest
    understanding linux source
    you need know the C and ASM language and many algorithms (many means very-very much)

    Yes it's not something you 'just learn' it takes time and practice. I for one don't know C or ASM myself but I can only imagine...You'd have to read books probably and play around with it...maybe even take a course etc...

    1) This is the debian section. Not the help me write another OS section.
    2) This is a linux forum. Not a help me write another OS section.
    3) If you can't understand it on your own, how are you going to make some revolutionary os design?

    To Vergil and others

    I know it sounds funny that since I am only a intermidiate programmer that is not familuar with the Linux OS sorce code that I could have came up with a revolutany designe. In fact though as unbelievable as it seems, one does not need to know the sorce code for Linux the OS, but understand how Operating Systems work in the first place and to also wager what most average users have problems when it comes to computers as well as more advanced users as well. Now, I for one have studied how OS's works. Also Virgel, just because someone may not know Linux's sorce code does not mean that person can't invent something that may even be a great invention. Of corse my concept is non the less a concept, however my concept is proven by programer proffessionals and even IT proffessionals programers, that are very close friends of mine, all of which agree that my concept is going to be, when finished, a great success, and seem to think that most OS's except may be a slim few, will have my concept/idea/invention, coded into the Operating System itself.

    Those that wrote back to me giving me some help other than critisism, thank you very much. Also, if any of you would like to help me on this prodject I would be more that happy to send the paper work and meet and scheldule days that we as a team can work on this. Any questions, please send email to tbagsby@mytsu.tnstate.edu that is my email address, I check it almost everyday. I have all the information on how to make this work and instructions on how it will be done in great detail. All that I need is someone that is very familar with C, C++ and Linux sorce code that can help me on this prodject. I know it seems weird to be asking this, but my freinds that are more than familar with this language have families to take care of, and their carears. All help is appricieated. Thank you so much for the help.

    PS: I have never been able to spell well, please forgive the mistypes. Did not want to download the spellchecker needed to spellcheck for this site. LOL

    I find it hard to believe that someone with a year of experience coding came up with some kind of revolutionary OS design principle. Have you looked into OS design to check that this ultimate design has not been implemented already?

    Can you in layman's terms tell us the basics of this idea?

    TO Likwid

    Likwid,
    It may be hard for you to believe but I have more than just a year. But I don't have to make you to believe me. I have nothing to prove to you. All I was trying to do is ask if someone could help me with something that I'm not too familar with. And yes, I did check other Operating Systems to see if they had the same indication as my concept, or anything similar that could be later developed and nothing of the kind is around. I myself was not alone doing the research to see if anything similar was out there. Invention Companies, Software Compaines, and few of my proffessor's checked to see, and all said they could not find anything of the kind out there like my concept. Also.. Techguy, I would give you the basic idea of my concept but all it takes is a simple message and boom, your idea is stolen, when it comes to the internet. Not saying that you would do so or anyone else, Just saying that it is possible. As I said before, I don't have to prove myself to anyone, and really why should I. Why could I not come up with a revolutionary product? Why can't anyone come up with something like that? I think it is just jelousy or something much more. In any case, I am still looking for help on this project and if anyone would like to help. Please email me at tbagsby@mytsu.tnstate.edu. I check this email everyday now. C++, Java, C, and ASM language has to be know before I can accept any help for the moment.
    Thank you all for you help and advice.
