NodeOS
======
# NodeOS

NodeOS is an OS only by the following definition:

```
+-----------+
| Hardware |
+-----------+
| Kernel |
+-----------+
| Root | <--- Where NodeOS lives
+-----------+
| Userland |
+-----------+
```

1. NodeOS is *not* a NodeJS kernel
2. NodeOS starts *after* the kernel loads
3. No non-kernel processes run before NodeOS

For the purposes of this project, the above definition is *always* what is meant by an OS.
One consequence of this definition is that eventually, NodeOS might be kernel agnostic.

## Goal

- The primary goal of NodeOS is to provide a working package manager
- The primary package manager will use NPM
