HAL 9000 is the embrion of an operating system i've developed. It doesn't do anything useful.. it will only boot and make some hardware recognition, but i'm proud i did it..

To test it you will need the GRUB bootloader (common in most recent Linux distributions). Then you can add the kernel.img file to the list of yours OS and ... reboot! Alternatively you can use the floppy.img image file and build a floppy with hal 9000.
