Operating Systems > Not Quite Mainstream OSes

NON MS DOS

<< < (2/4) > >>

Kintaro:
And Red-Hat is the best distro, i hear bad things about debian. Slackware yes, but i hear debian is too "Unstable" and the "Stable" releases are "Obselete"

Thats what i hear, I will get it one day!

Master of Reality:
Can any windows run on non-ms DOS???

Calum:
you hit the nail right on the thumb.

FreeDOS claims to emulate MSDOS interrupts perfectly, however the official line is that it cannot run MSWindows as it is a special case. However they claim tht some people have got windows runnign on freedos, so i wanted to try it out.

I just wanted an old stylee fat16/12 only DOS OS to play with, i already have mandrake 8.2 and winME so, you know, winME is shit at DOS stuff, and i wanted to try and run all my DOS programs (mostly games) on a free, and possibly open source OS, plus FreeDOS has ported compilers, libraries and so on from unix type open source projects too, so theoretically it would be a lot better than msdos IF IT WORKED!!!

Master of Reality:
you might be able to run windows 3.11 on it.

Kintaro:

--- Quote from: Calum ---a virus? it's not the one that overwrites your master boot record without permission like another well known "operating system". Anyway, DR-DOS is not free, is it?

also, FreeDOS to be fair is still on beta 0.8, so until a 1.0 version, i suspect i will have to put up with shit, if using it.

Owe, to get DR-DOS goto www.drdos.net
