From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

At the weekend I'll have some time to fiddle with it.

I think I'll try to boot Serenity first from USB, check if it wants to boot at all. Maybe I'll got an Arduino to use as serial monitor to check the log.

Then move on to flashing the grub image to the HDD, again, with a different IDE drive. if thst doesn't work, I'll find a SATA HDD and flash that.

I really wanna see this OS boot on real hardware. Then take a good lookaround and develop or port something for it :)
