   So, on day 20*, the Unix speedrun project has:

   * Memory manager
   * A VFS
   * A bunch of filesystem syscalls
   * fork/exec, preemptive multitasking
   * Signals (sort of)
   * AHCI block devices
   * GPT and MBR partitions
   * ext4 and memfs filesystems
   * null, full, zero character devices
   * pipe(2)
   * A fairly beefy libc
   * EFI and legacy boot support
   * Framebuffer console
   * A port of the dash shell
   * 52 core utilities ported from sbase

   * Technically 21 but I wasn't working on it yesterday

     Might also be fun to make an installer, but this would require:

     * mkfs.ext4 (not that hard)
     * fdisk (somewhat hard)
     * EFI runtime variables (pretty hard)
