I have some unix and c++ experiance, you think i should go for making my own kernel? Thanx i would appreciate a response as soon as possible. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Mohamed Aboshihata ( Moe ) Association of Computer Machinery Pager: 917-354-7199 Phone: 718-260-3214 E-mail: moe@acm.poly.edu #@!#@!#@!#@!#@!#@!#@!#@!#@!#@!#@!#@!#@!#@!#@!#@!#@!#@!#@!#@!#@!#@!#@ It is neither wealth nor splendor, but tranquility and occupation, that give happiness. - Thomas Jefferson \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
