I would like to create an operating system in C++. Nothing too complicated, maybe just an OS that can run and print something to the screen. Any suggestions on how to get started? Maybe some good tutorials online?

Thanks
 
Dear God, I wonder if you realy want to do that.
If you have time to invest in low level stuff read
MicroC/OS-II

It is not a book you read for fun (even though it is), what I am trying to say is that OS programming is a serious business.

Good luck Walid Magd

The book, "Operating Systems: A Design-Oriented Approach", by Charles Crowley, does just what it sounds like. It shows you how operating systems work by providing sample C++ code for a simple one. You could probably take the basic ideas from there and improve upon them.
