+# The M1X operating system
+
+M1X is an operating system partially inspired by Solaris aiming to provide a pragmatic
+capability based security environment. M1X follows the "(almost) everything is a file"
+philosophy in which machine resources and files are accessible through a unified file
+interface similar to those found in POSIX environments, however, the underlying file
+management mechanisms are to be handled orthogonally to machine resource managment.
+
+The way this is to be done is by introducing the concept of filepath prefixes which
+allow the kernel to differentiate between machine resources and true files.
+
+## Building M1X
+
+To build M1X, start with obtaining required dependencies by executing the ``bootstrap.sh``
+script found within the top-level ``host/`` directory. After which, one may build the toolchain
+by invoking ``toolchain.sh`` which is found in the same directory.
+
+Once the toolchain is complete, the world can be built by invoking the ``build.sh`` script located
+in the top-level ``host/`` directory.
