# any idea where i can find out about programming an operating system in c/c++
Well, if you drop the /c++ part, there are at least a handful of
systems out there where the source is available for everyone to read.
Try
www.freebsd.org
www.netbsd.org
www.openbsd.org
www.gnu.org (look for an OS called "The Hurd")
Yesterday someone told me about something called linux, I'm
pretty sure some search engine will dig up a site with source :-)
If you not only want to learn by looking at source code, there's
a book with an in-depth description of 4.4BSD (which is the basis
for the 3 BSDs mentioned above),
Marshall Kirk McKusick, Keith Bostic, Michael J. Karels, John S.
Quarterman, The Design and Implementation of the 4.4 BSD Operating
System, Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-54979
Excellent book, not for {*filter*}y beginners, however.
Regards,
Jens
