rOSe is a toy operating system that I'm writing for fun.
The design of rOSe is still up in the air; I have decided that I'd like to try writing a microkernel, though. That being said, I started this project with very little idea on what I was doing, so I wouldn't be surprised if this project had a lot of rewrites. =)
I had some trouble thinking of a good name (RobOS would just be silly), until I thought of the quote "A rose by any any other name would smell as sweet". I liked the idea of "RoseOS", and when I realized that I could backronym it to "Rob's Operating System Experiment", I knew I'd found the right name.
To build the kernel, you'll need:
- gcc
- nasm
- make
If you want to run the kernel in a VM, I recommend QEMU. If you have QEMU and would like
to use it, simply type make boot.
