QBinux

[SebMcClouth]

It has been a while. And it's has brought you a new program. Well new? Actually based upon Linux. That's why it's called qbinux.

Here's the code. Let me know what you think of it!!

'Just to let you all know that I haven't yet included all the
'credits, I'll get to that later. To be honest, this is only the
'the real Core, like the Linux Kernel.

'Okay here goes:

'$include:'qb.bi' 'For whatever reason... Interrupt calling
'ofcourse... hehehe
