Linux Kernel and Status Updates…
I’ve setup a local VBox for me to test booting the kernel on. I’m going to setup an intial linux host so I can do some programming on. Once I have that, I will start making a custom distro specifically for LCARS. How cool would that be? Replacing the traditional Bash shell with an LCARS one? Well, that’s the goal now. Might make a minimal port of X11 or just use it as well. I’d rather not though. The least amount of software loaded, the better. I want this to be agile and efficient enough so that it can be quickly streamed over a network, booted, and ran at top speed on something similar to a Net Appliance. Those that are old enough will remember those. They died quickly.
Anyways, I’ll be using the 2.6.29 kernel for starters then adjust the booting process to load a custom shell. This will be interesting.
BTW, the ads you now see, if you don’t want to see them anymore, get Firefox and install the AdBlock plugin. Otherwise, put up with it. This site costs money (very little, but still some) and I’d like a little support. And this way, you don’t have to donate either. It’s all good.
Catch ya later.
