    1.15 -This is the supplemental source code for the first part of the introduction to
    1.16 -kernel development articles. It deals with booting up from a multiboot-compliant
    1.17 -boot loader and using the VGA for text output.
    1.18 +When the editor of the Linux Inside magazine asked me to write for his newborn
    1.19 +magazine, I leapt at the chance to start a series of introductory articles on
    1.20 +kernel programming.
    1.21 +For this reason I started writing a minimal, UNIX-like, operating system kernel
    1.22 +from scratch. It's not complete yet, but it already has user/kernel protection
    1.23 +levels, a virtual memory system with copy-on-write, processes, task switching,
    1.24 +etc.
    1.25 +
    1.26 +The articles themselves (only in Greek at the moment unfortunately) can be found
    1.27 +at: http://nuclear.mutantstargoat.com/articles/kerneldev/index.html
