Are you absolutely sure it is an OS you've written in VB.NET?

First of all, is this what you are trying to say? Because if so, then you are double posting, which will not get you anywhere in answering your post.

Second of all, there is no way you can create an OS in Visual Basic.NET. Visual Basic.NET (and any other .NET language) runs under a Virtual Machine that helps the execution of code. OSes don't use any virtual machines, since an Operating System is basically software that is responsible for managing the hardware and the software for the user. How can an OS do this when it has to be "guided" by other software?

My third point will be that another person has gave you links on how to build your own Linux Desktop if that is what you are asking for. Maybe I (and Atheist) are confused on what you mean by when you say "OS", but if you want your VB.NET program to run in Linux, I'm afraid that, unless you have a virtual machine (e.g. VMWare, VirtualBox, Virtual PC, etc), then there is no way to run that code on your PC. If you have, then you'll have to install Windows under the virtual machine - which brings me to my fourth point: you cannot run .NET programs under any other OS, unless you developed it in Mono first. You may be able to get away with WINE, but it is unlikely. If you have monodevelop installed on Linux, then you can usually run the program by running

mono program

if my memory serves me well.

For my final point, if you are talking about getting the program to start up straight away in Linux, it depends on which desktop environment you have, which begs the question of why are you even trying to get it working under Linux?

I hope this post has cleared everything up, if not a majority of things. If you still don't understand what I mean, then please just post in the same thread stating so, instead of starting a new one.
