    It would be great if you can port my GUI to your OS

    It still is a long way away from running a graphics environment
    I'm still working on the graphical interface so it is not very good to use it daily.

    I still haven't used actual Linux code
    Maybe you should use some code from Linux, because there are a few drivers that can be very useful.

    Probably if you install build-essential, nasm and qemu, you should be fine. You can test it properly by using grub for now.
    Maybe you should create a build environment like ReactOS BE that everyone can create it easily.

    Don't get your hopes up too much, I first need to asses the code. I want to make sure people can learn from the code, instead of wondering, "what's this statement doing? what's that statement doing? How does this datastructure actually work?" all the time (In other words, use some comments and keep it readable, quite unlike my memory allocation scheme)

    I'll probably ask some Communication and Multimedia Designers to take a look at it. Not only the code needs to be useful for educational purposes. I'd love to have an environment which stimulates, but doesn't force the user to learn new things all the time.

    Maybe, on the other hand, how would that improve readability. Now I'm a bit in a split here, but for now I've got time to wonder about how to do things. The primary goal is to keep the learning code easy to access.
