New OS

If you're looking for a web host head over to Freewebspace.net, they have a database of 350 free web hosting providers. If the web hosts posted in this thread are not suitable, freewebspace.net is bound to have a host you would like.

Anyways if you're serious about making an x86 OS I recommend The IA-32 Intel® Architecture Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 3: System Programming Guide , as well as the other two volumes for an introduction and reference to the x86 instruction set. The manual is available for download as PDF but you can also purchase it in book form and have it mailed at no charge (thats what I did). In any case, Intel is the most authoritive source on the x86 architecture so you should learn everything you need to know about how an OS can control the CPU (protected-mode, segments, paging, etc.) Good luck!

Let's see, the last post was 5 years ago. The original poster was banned under that name and many others, though he remains a great contributor of what they use for humor in the Phillipines to this site, to this very day. The actual concept was just another off-the-wall opportunity to post some links for the klicks and a bit of disinformation / satire for the teams. And zeropaid has long since moved on from nonsense like peer-to-peer to become a peeing-in-the-shower and body-noise theme site.

SO OF COURSE IT'S STILL ACTIVE !!! IT"S CRAP, BUT IT'S CLASSIC CRAP !!!

Under Daiye (1089-1169, a disciple of Yengo), the great Zen master of the Sung dynasty, there was a monk named Doken, who had spent many years in the study of Zen, but who had not as yet uncovered its secrets, if there were any. He was quite discouraged when he was sent on the errand to a distant city. A trip requiring half a year to finish would be a hindrance rather than help to his study. Sogen, one of his fellow-students, was most sympathetic and said, "I will accompany you on the trip and do all I can for you; there is no reason why you cannot go on with your meditation even while travelling". One evening Doken despairingly implored his friend to assist him in the solution of the mystery of life. The friend said, "I am willing to help you in every way I can, but there are some things in which I cannot be of any help to you; these you must look after for yourself". Doken expressed the desire to know what these things were. Said the friend: "For instance, when you are hungry or thirsty, my eating of food or drinking will not fill your stomach; you must eat and drink for yourself. When you want to respond to the calls of nature you must take care of yourself, for I cannot be of any use to you. And then it will be nobody else but yourself that will carry your body along this highway". This friendly counsel at once opened the mind of the truth-seeking monk, who was so transported with his discovery that he did not know how to express his joy. Sogen said that his work was now done and that his further companionship would have no meaning after this; so he left Doken to continue his journey all by himself. After a half year Doken returned to his own monastery. Daiye, on his way down the mountains, happened to meet Doken and at once made the following remark, "This time he knows all". What was it, let me ask, that flashed through Doken's mind when his friend Sogen gave him such matter-of-fact advice?
