Hey peepulz!
I recently came across a 10,000 line OS, written for educational purposes. It's called xv6, and it's pretty basic - just a shell with very limited ability to create files, but it's a fully self-contained OS that boots on it's own. It's used by MIT folks (and many other universities) for their advanced Operating Systems course (6.828, video lectures here).
It also comes with a free textbook that details its internals. You need to have qemu installed for running xv6 in a VM.
Get source code here:
