See http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~syrah/os161/ . This is a kernel developed at Harvard. In the undergrad course on OS here (University of Waterloo), students (same as you, 3rd year) are asked to implement missing features which is also listed on the page. You can try doing that to get your hands dirty, and then move on to bigger projects (Linux/BSD kernel). Just think of this as a stepping stone. SB -- l...@iitd - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
