HI. I wish to start writing a linux system, yet I'm a complete newbie to it. I have heard about kernels and stuff, but I'm not completely sure what its all about. If there are any basic tutorials you know of that will tell me what a kernel is firstly and then how I am supposed to make an OS from that that would be great! I don't know what programming language to use or anything. Thanks a lot -- Tom Clayson -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
