Pointing People in the Right Direction

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Pointing People in the Right Direction

Post by AJ »

Hi,

Just found a great site (someone linked on #osdev) for pointing people in the right direction: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=Operating+System+Development .

:D

Cheers,
Adam

I should perhaps point out that the link is just for fun and the idea isn't that every newcomer gets pointed there indiscriminately :)

Shrek, if you're going to write .NET code to drive a search engine, it really ought to be http://www.live.com. :wink:
Top three reasons why my OS project died:
  1. Too much overtime at work
  2. Got married
  3. My brain got stuck in an infinite loop while trying to design the memory manager
Don't let this happen to you!

Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.

That might be a good idea if the info they seek is already on the site somewhere. The on site search is sometimes less than perfect. Or you could try adding " -osdev.org" to the search string.
