The goal of this project is to build a 64-bit POSIX-compliant tick-less kernel

with a Linux-compatible syscall implementation using [Go](https://golang.org). 



This project is not about building yet another OS but rather exists to serve as

proof that Go is indeed a suitable tool for writing low level code that runs

at ring-0.



**Note**: This project is still in the early stages of development and is not yet

in a usable state. In fact, if you build the ISO and boot it, the kernel will 

eventually panic with a `Kmain returned` error.



To find out more about the current project status and feature roadmap take a

look at the [status](STATUS.md) page.



## Building and running gopher-os 



TLDR version: `make run-qemu` or `make run-vbox`. 



A detailed guide about building, running and debugging gopher-os on

Linux/OSX as well as the list of supported boot command line options are

available [here](BUILD.md).
