Linux is written in c
and worked as DOS or if in GUI then like windows. yes if someone send me or

Do you mean that it has to run DOS programs?

If you wrote a Linux variant, it would run simple line commands...maybe
even simple c/c++ programs.

You could work on a lightweight X windows WM such as IceTM that had very
minimal windowing capabilities.

No I dont want to run DOS programs ya if it could then its good. I mean that
it should work like DOS simple file processing techniquies like text file
generation, modification etc. the project FreeDOS is too big and hard to
understand for me. coz I want to study it and then create my own os by my own
code and way. I dont just want to copy, FeeDOS is looks like great but for
those who may have the exp in this filed. I am the newbie infact very very
much newbie. SO if you cloud then plz tell the name of OS which just Boot the
system and do some simple file operations. the rest (GUI and Other) things
are not so much important.

Sorry for all of this mess.

The Simple Hello World Operating System package contains a boot sector
code(ASM) , boot sector writer , an exe header stripper , and a simple guide
on how to build a small OS which prints a Message "Hello World !"
