... I'm mostly interested in Linux and programming, currently working on a designing a processor...

...am writing my own assembly language.

*Cough* I wonder whether writing "your own" assembly language (I comprehend this as developing your own instruction set, is it?) makes much sense if no manufacturer decides to create a series of processors with your instruction set. :)
Also, I'm a bit curious: Which type of processor are you designing?

1. CISC, or RISC?
   
2. 4-bit? 8-bit? 16-bit? 32-bit? 64-bit? 128-bit?
   
3. For your custom instruction set: Length of instruction words?
   
4. Length of Opcode?
   
5. Hardwired control unit, or Microcode control unit?
   
6. Are there any caches present in your processor? I hope I won't hear you want to use 8GB of SRAM as cache. :) Most people would have no interest in buying a processor that costs more than a million dollars.
   
7. How many registers are planned?
   

Also, glad to see another Linuxer. Linuxers are getting a lot of more younger recently and I feel competed. :) Which distribution are you using? Debian, Arch, LFS, Gentoo, Slackware, or any other derivations?
