Is there a linux source code for making a total os? I hope you can understand me. i explain further: it may sound stupid by i want to try to make an own os. Off course not totally from scratch but with the linux source you can learn and then go further, or back.....
i hope this is enough info...
o yeah: if there is a full source of linux, unix or whatever, where can i find it?

If you want to learn to make your own OS, I would suggest going with a book. There are a couple of good books that walk you through the bootstrap problem of developing an OS. One that comes to mind is "Developing your Own 32-Bit Operating System" by Burgess. Quite frankly, the Linux OS is a little bloated to really be a good starting point for a learning project. Otherwise, you might want to look into Minix instead. Minix was Linus Torvaldis''s starting point when making Linux.
you can download the Linux kernel source from
http://www.kernel.org/
but remember that an operating system is more than just the kernel...a fully UNIX-compliant operating system needs a kernel and many other programs. most of these programs are written by the Free Software Foundation. For details, check out
http://www.gnu.org.
Hope this helps.

Speaking of Minix, I recently picked up a book that is a compilation of other books by Andrew Tanenbaum & Albert Woodhill. The title is Operating Systems Design and Implementation. It comes with the complete source of Minix 2.0 (which was originally created by Tanenbaum) and is written with sections covering theory followed by an explanation of the implementation in Minix. I''ve not had time to play with it as much as I wanted to, but it seems a good book.
Also for an amusing debate/flame-war that happened between Tanenbaum & Linus & and various others read http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/appa.html
I find it amusing anyway.
