There have been already three releases this year (0.3, 0.4 and today, 0.5). Quick outplot : * Graphical interface for the emulator, with a (simple) page tables browser. * the kernel almost boots up to the start of a userspace process. * use binutils-2.17, gcc-4.1.1 and linux-2.6.17. Everything you want to know about it is on http://orzel.freehackers.org/zeta This is of interest mostly to people who, like me, want to know more about the toolchain internals and linux core stuff internals (== not drivers, subsystems or filesystems). The next release will focus on writing the handbook (documentation, howto's, specifications..). best regards, Thomas -- Thomas Capricelli http://orzel.freehackers.org/
