First of all, it's generally not a good idea to make an exclusive OS. If
people are already used to one, then yours will have to be awesome to even
make them want to download it. Secondly, if you're at all new to ASM, I doubt
you could do it. There's too much that goes on in a shell for a "newbie" to
grasp, including myself...
