FreeBSD is written mostly in C and compiled with the Gnu C compiler (gcc). You can write an operating system with any compiler you wish, and XINU for the PC (a toy operating system, written for educational purposes) is indeed compiled with Borland C. For more info on FreeBSD, browse through http://www.freebsd.org, and its source code (to see how a real OS is written). Hope this helps, Nadav
