I was looking over the source, and to tell you the truth, its probably the cleanest source ever. Anyways, I started off one too: http://spider.sourceforge.net

I was looking over the source, and to tell you the truth, its probably the cleanest source ever. Anyways, I started off one too: http://spider.sourceforge.net a long time ago, but never found enough resources to implement the mm so it got stuck after the interrupt handler. I would appreciate if you give me the chance to join your project to learn more about implementation.
Also, here are a couple of suggestions..?
Maintaining a changelog might help keeping track of major changes made to code in between releases.
you should provide some binary images on the site, so that people who "currently" dont have access to a *nix box, can test and report them back. I would like to do it too. I am getting a whole new machine for os development purposes, and will be glad to help you with testing. also got a digital camera, for shots of what errors look like...
anyway I donot intend to be a show off dude, sorry if i sound like one. i just need to learn more about implementation before i try to implement a OS.
THanks

I'm glad you found the source easy to follow. I tried hard to make it that way. If you're interested in participating in development, subscribe to the geekos-devel mailing list. The top immediate priority is support for paging. I'm always happy to accept useful patches.
The source builds under windows using cygwin, and given the fact that geekos is at such an early stage of development, I don't think binary releases are warranted. As soon as the entire system can install itself on a hard drive (which is a way off in the future), I'll consider binary releases.
