+##SimponicOS
+
+This is a 32-bit protected mode OS that I am trying to write from scratch.
+It is mostly a test of my knowledge of C and computer hardware in general.
+I hope it becomes something better in the future. Right now I'm having
+difficulty with interrupts.
+
+You must have the GCC toolchain compiled for i386 installed on your machine, setup
+with cross-compilation. You can find directions on how to do this on the OSDev
+wiki.
+
+You must also have grub, as I use it for bootloading.
