A little amount of starter documentation is in the current file, the /Docs/ trunk contains far more information.

Write in: C, Shell
A training simulator for using dangerous Linux commands, especially fsck, in a controlled environment
Inspiration: I had to run the fsck command manually, as one of my partitions randomly got corrupted during normal usage, and I was dropped into BusyBox upon each boot. It was a good learning experience, and it felt empowering to utilize the fsck command. I wanted to create a simulator that can simulate problems like these to give new/inexperienced Linux users (like myself) the opportunity to play with fire without messing up their machines, and learn how to troubleshoot these problems better.
2 program modes:
Virtual machine
Programmed
Virtual machine mode is what its title says: it is a small virtual machine hypervisor that is locked into several scenarios for demonstrating commands like fsck. Programmed mode is what its title says: it is a programmed simulation (program) that does not rely on virtual machines. It is good for users who don't want to use tons of memory.
Some scenarios:
Vanilla: Just a normal day on Linux
{ Difficulty levels: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }
Various sub-scenarios
Corrupted partition: Run fsck to save the day
{ Difficulty levels: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }
Various sub-scenarios
Lotsa users: Use chmod and other commands to manage lots of users
{ Difficulty levels: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }
Various sub-scenarios
Virtual machines:
Plan9
Early Linux distributions (light)
