Hello, people! I am writing this as I need help in multiple things.

The first thing is:

Is it possible to make a clock on a monitor? (A working clock.)

e.g:

12:00

Xanis Co

——-

Second question:

How do I make an operating system?

Things I'd like to include on it are:

An easy to use GUI.

(Has buttons such as Printer, Turtle Control, Light control)

Has a Printer function, works similar to Notepad or so.

Turtle control: Allows you to get a turtle to get items, craft items and send/receive storage carts.

Light control: Let's you turn the lights on.

(Set out like a cross)

———————————————————————————————————————————————-

Third question:

(To do with the turtle control)

How do I make a turtle be able to be a "butler" (Similar to the video on Nitrogenfingers channel.)

—

Fourth:

How do I make a username/password lock?

(Username: Xanis, Password: unlockpc)

——-

(I'm a noob with Lua)

I hope you can help me!

– I'm running Tekkit, by the way.

Shameless self plug.
Tutorials section for your convenience.
^Same as above^
^Again, same as above^

Unfortunately, Tekkit is not updated to include the ability for turtles to interact with chests, and craft things.
Also does not have printers. That came out just this week.
I'm glad you like the mod, so I hope these resources really help: Useful resources
Try searching around on the forums. You have so much available to you to learn Lua and how it works with ComputerCraft.

Thanks!

Also, that master control system (In your signature) seems interesting, does that work with tekkit 3.1.2?
