I've done some of the harder parts, but I personally am not going to
saddle them with a unixoid kernel at this point without severe
provocation. YMMV.

PUPLinux
Personable UniProcessor Linux
1.2.14 umbilical snip version
FEATURISMING...
* based on Linux 1.2.13
* ignores POSIX. Aims to further the unix tradition of innovation,
in conjunction with innovations from Forth, Amiga, and
<your name here>.
* converted entirely to the osimplay meta-assembler
o Therefor builds, if necessary, with nothing but a
32 bit post-Korn shell. No dd even. Includes one.
o Is also therefor x86-only, and 386-max, at least at
first, but not nearly to the extent that you think.
* No SMP ever, guaranteed. Not one ASCII byte.
* EOL = CR,LF
* dyndufs, appropriate ls included, shows the du of a dir, not the
less-than-useless 1970 legacy noise the
innocent user sees now for a dir's "size"
o block sizes from one byte to Sagans in powers of 2
* Forth or similar in kernelspace (H3sm and/or Tiny OpenBoot)
* hard realtime service on NMI
* More stateful vt's; per-vt text modes, fonts, etc.
* Dotted Standard File Hierarchy support, DSFH
* No modules
* probably no threads, but I'm not sure.
* Plan-9-style CPU-based "includes" structure, to the extent
that that pertains to a meta-assembler
* (back-port?) full UTF-8 support
* stdaux, FD 3, secondary input for all executables
* latched (level-triggered) interrupts
* Forth interpreter syscall(s) on INT 0x81

My apologies to the perps if there's a real "PUPLinux" somewhere.
You didn't know penguins had umbilical cords, did you? Ain't l-k grand?
Rick,
PUPLinux sounds great!
Does it run on Red Hat?
See ya,
Joe Barr
