I meant I thought he was writing his own OS, as in hacking, C, serial debugging and other fun stuff....

Well, his article was still cool. And building your own Linux from scratch is a rewarding expirience.

Though I think a couple of distros might be close to what you wind up with in the long run anyway...

A properly configured Debian, or a Crux Linux. Perhaps even Gentoo..
