Subject: Re: Rubyx logo idea

Hi 

I'm quite interested in your ruby OS. Perhaps I can help out somewhere 
although I only started programming recently.

I'm keen to know what state RubyX is in at the moment?

Is there documentation anywhere - where does the project live ? Is it on 
sourceforge or somewhere?

Is it  just a command line distro at the moment ?  Is it slower than linux as 
its non compiled?

Is it in a state or will it ever be in a astate where one could run KDE on it 
? or are there plans for a new Desktop ?

how have you handled all the linuxy stuff like file systems, proc and devices?

does it run with the linux kernel ? or does it have a Ruby kernel ?

Sorry about all the questions - I'm just very inquisitive

Thanks

Kingsley
