+# Introduction
+
+The repository is an exploration of the question: what if we wanted to use
+the Linux kernel as a poor man's microkernel? Microkernels are cool and all,
+but figuring out how to deal with all the device drivers is a bit soul
+crushing. So here, we're going to skip over those details, and see what it'd
+look like if we just built everything else: the network stack, the file
+systems, the graphical infrastructure, virtualization, etc. And let's use
+Rust to do it, because I'm a fanboy. And let's not keep ourselves to
+POSIX and standard Linux file system organization, because why bother?
+
+# To Hit Go
+
+Well, you'll need [Docker](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop).
+
+You'll need to use a fancy Rust Docker container or two. Run this:
+
+```
+% ./scripts/build-docker-envs.sh
+```
+
+To build your handy-dandy Docker containers.
+
+To build the linux kernel, which you'll need, you should run:
+
+```
+% ./scripts/build-kernel.sh
+```
+
+You'll then want to run the Rust build:
+
+```
+% cargo build --release --target x86_65-unknown-linux-musl
+```
+
+And then build this all up into a nice ramdisk:
+
+```
+% ./scripts/build-ramfs.sh
+```
+
+And run the demo:
+
+```
+% ./scripts/run.sh
+```
+
+Wheee!! Fun!!
