> even if we’re in the midst of a change. What change do you refer to? Concerning C: C has obviously proven itself in countless system and embedded projects of all sizes.

Projects like the one discussed would be a good opportunity to test newer languages for their suitability for operating system and embedded development, without the pressure of a commercial project. > Why i386 and BIOS?

Agree; that's also one of the reasons operating systems like xv6 dedicated for teaching do so; I'm therefore interested in how Fiwix positions itself in relation to xv6.
