Good idea to put the FAQ in the doc folder, maybe we should move all the wiki pages here and clean them too? There was some work to move them to an independent GitBook project...

Hahaha I'm alive, just bogged in work since school started. You'd like the wiki pages in the doc folder?

I guess it would be cool to point out in what areas someone could apply to, but I didn't really know how to discribe it and less yet where to point for specific threads or documentation to look out to get started.

Docker support is outdated, hope to update it soon with the recent changes I'm currently doing...

We have a list of all NodeOS dependencies at https://github.com/NodeOS/NodeOS/wiki/NodeOS-project-dependencies-tree, maybe it's better to reference it instead.

I searched for but missed this one. Yes, I guess point out links with information is always better then rewrite all inside a simple FAQ.

Totally wrong. There's the NodeOS standard module but needs to be integrated better.

- To install pragrams use npm (Node Package Manager)
-- ie. npm install vtop
- System programs goes in "/.../bin/"
- User space programs goes in "/.../bin/"

All commands are available at /bin, although internally they are placed in several places as Plan9 does.

-- ie. npm install vtop
- System programs goes in "/.../bin/"
- User space programs goes in "/.../bin/"
- To start a service do a "node ..."

Currently we don't have the concept of service "as is" beyond start it from the user /init script, but it's intented to add support for ndm.

- System programs goes in "/.../bin/"
- User space programs goes in "/.../bin/"
- To start a service do a "node ..."
- To know a program is running do a "ps ..."

We don't have a ps command yet, if you willing to do it yourself... :-)

I really am, but first I need to get a good NodeOS running and I'm having a hard time with this, where docker does not access the internet and the Qemu is not installing stuff, not sure why.
I loved the NodeOS project, and genuinely want to help, but it is showing very difficult to get started. But I will keep trying. Thank you for your time. :-)
