What are the difficulties of producing an operating system for a FPGA? Because from the few I have heard there is nothing made about that, or it can be as a PhD program..

Linux runs just fine on an FPGA, if the processor is programmed with a CPU.
You talk about OpenSparc?

Hello,
Linux can run also on soft-processor like Xilinx Microblze or Altera NIOSII.
Te question is too general in my humble opinion.

No
More like NIOS, MicroBlaze, PicoBlaze

Is there an Echo in here? (look at post #6)
Ok, because I do not have the appropriate knowledge on this, can a Xilinx Spartan 3E be used for this? Should I use other any other FPGA model?
Thank you...
Why do you want to do this on an FPGA. You could probably do far more, much more quickly, with a $30 raspberry pi
Because as I know (correct me if I am wrong) FPGAs are far more fast than Raspberies..
Can I run Kali linux on an FPGA, or at least program the FPGA to run commands and run thee Kali linux on a hdd? connected to the FPGA?
Hello,
you can not because Linux for FPGA is almost kernel + basic packages. There aren't repositories with packages from Kali Linux for FPGA and particular SoC (like Zynq of soft-processor).
You have to compile all packages from sources what for time constraints and needed knowledge is impossible to do.
BTW: Linux for FPGA's is very basic OS system for embedded solutions (and writing custom peripherals in HDL languages like VHDL or Verilog).
