- Fuzix is a descendant of UZI, a UNIX port for Zilog Z80, now running on Raspberry Pi Pico.
- Compilation requires Debian Bookworm and specific dependencies, with a Dockerfile provided for setup.
- The build process involves checking out Fuzix v0.4, patching out incompatible applications, and compiling for the Pi Pico.
- Installation involves flashing `fuzix.uf2` (kernel) and `filesystem.uf2` (filesystem) onto the Pi Pico via BOOTSEL mode.
- Fuzix boots into a simple shell with common utilities, supporting GPIO manipulation and script execution.
- The system impressively runs on minimal hardware, showcasing UNIX-like functionality on a $5 microcontroller.
