Hallo all ! I hope I am not asking an Off Topic question. I am a designer of microcontroller based systems, and prefer to write in assembly for speed and small size. I never learned anything about an OS systematically though I used some (dos & linux). My question is- Is it possible to describe an OS in short ? If yes, can any one do this for me? You also may provide some link on net. I am interested in knowing the difference between the RTOS and the one we frequently use. I have fair understanding of internal hardware and architecture of micro-processor and controller. Is it sufficient to understand what an OS is ? One may describe all this with reference to Freedos. Thanks again.

http://www.freedos.org is a site that might be of some help to you. http://www.osnews.com is another site that covers different os's (IIRC on the URL).
