Just to put in my own two cents.
The lastest happening thing is all about open source hardware. Open source
operating systems are so 2000.
Intel has recently released a number of x86 based boards. With a simple
operating system like DOS you could do all sorts of hardware things directly,
without having to go through all the hassle of installing, updating and
maintaining a full linux system.

Onderwerp: [Freedos-devel] Kickstarter project for FreeDOS 2.0
I'm curious what the specific uses are being proposed for FreeDOS-32 ?
The kickstarter site mentions supporting DJGPP compiled programs which use
DPMI. This is already supported in FreeDOS.
It further mentions hard real time and threading. There are already user-space
threading packages available ( freebie: Erick Engelke's ERTOS) for FreeDOS.
What is it that the developers of this project want to do that can't be done
with FreeDOS or other existing OS ?
