# Gila v0.3.1 - a Rust Microkernel
|
|
|
|
Gila is a Rust microkernel OS, inspired by the Xinu embedded OS, as well as Linux. I aim to implement multitasking and different users for processes, and eventually a filesystem. I do not aim to make it POSIX-compatible, but it will likely end up sharing many features with POSIX operating systems.
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
|
|
Information on the build system, repo structure, features, configuration options, supported architectures, design philosophies, and more, is available in the [docs](docs/) folder. If you want to build Gila for yourself, consider reading [DEVELOPMENT.md](docs/DEVELOPMENT.MD) for explicit instructions.
