So my friends and I, being the betting coders we are, have agreed to a wager: whoever makes the most novel operating system wins the bet.

We can use command line kernels like DOS or 'nux. But the problem is making something unique and different.

I was thinking about making each file represented by a fish, and each folder be a school of fish; the OS would be coral reefs, being necessary to keep the other things living. Then I realized this was too complicated.

So I thought about a Java OS that runs itself! A sort of bootstrap of an OS. Then I heard that JNode did this

So then I thought about an OS sorta like the internet, except instead of websites there would be specific locations in RAM, and that the OS is entirely dependent on RAM with the exception of a start up. It evolves in ram depending on the circumstances. But I have no idea how I would even start doing this!

So, I have ran out of ideas! Any Help on making a unique and different OS would be greatly appreciated!
