I was pulling your leg Arthur.  Does on leg feel a bit longer than the

I was under the impression that MinuetOS was 80x86 target. Raspberry Pi 
is not that.  Of course you could run an 80x86 emulator and MinuetOS 
under that, but I would guess that the entire point is screaming fast OS 
so doing so would defeat the entire purpose.
