Select our own hardware, create or our own operating system

Yeah, I am a dreamer. I am dream that we all could build our own system, complete with OS. Let's say 5,000 machines were, build, we would all meet and hang out. Sure, I know.

OS 4 is just around the corner, but I was thinking, are there people in this forum that would be capable of building an operating system? We could select some hardware or use existing and then take it from there.

Adolescent: Is AROS based on Linux? If so, I was thinking about an OS that was build from scratch.

Anyone know how many hours was put in creating the OS for the Commodore 64? Just wondering.

But, but, but, Aros-MAX, I thought that was an extension to Windows???

Is it hard to program an OS to run on specific hardware? Again, like my question about the C64, anyone know how long it took to create the Kickstart ROM and Workbench?

Piru: That can happen if you don't check!!!
I did not get that one???

Yeah, there is a problem with the applications.

I am so frustrated with the operating systems there are available. AROS seems quite cool, and I will probably end up using it.

Lately I have been thinking about building an OS. Not myself, unless it can be done in BASIC. *LOL*
Something with a PCI card with the 'kernel' or what ever it is called stored on a ROM. A simple OS, easy to use and super fast.

Okay, what ever.

Piru: Yeah, but with limited support to hardware, no need for developing thousands driver, it should be somewhat possible. Then again, I know nothing about programming. I just believe that there is something wrong with the way OS' are running these days when I compare my current system to my old Workbench on a 12 MHz system.
