Hi Ty Amour, to answer both of your mails in one: > development project for doing...just a thought: > > dos based version of PCBSD
BSD and DOS are different operating systems. Your suggestion is like "Let us make a Windows version of Linux" or "a Mac version of Windows". In other words, BSD is always based on BSD and DOS is always based on DOS. Not vice versa. But maybe you could explain which properties of DOS people could add to BSD and why, to better understand your idea :-) > include the .net runtime > > and clang > > developer tutorials for > audio, graphics, gui frameworks, bootloaders, and anyother aspect that goes You probably mean the GUI of BSD? That already exists, for BSD. And it only works on BSD... And is documented. > into an operating system. youll be surprised at the patches you get, and I would expect to get zero patches, because everybody would simply use existing BSD :-) Some smaller software libraries for GUI do have DOS versions, though, such as https://code.google.com/p/nanox-microwindows-nxlib-fltk-for-dos/w/list This means you can start from existing software which already uses the existing FLTK library for GUI, but is not yet available for DOS: Thanks to the DOS version of FLTK, you can make a DOS version of your existing FLTK-based software which originally was for other OS. > you can even write your own kind of synaptic, then development > would be really easy and rapid Synaptic only makes installation easy, not development. FreeDOS already has easy installation, such as FDNPKG: http://fdnpkg.sourceforge.net/ > make it compatable like ubuntu Ubuntu is a popular Linux with Debian style packages, but Linux is only compatible with Linux. You can not use software from Linux and "just run it in DOS" etc. > and super low latency for audio Please be specific about the low audio latency. DOS only runs 1 program at a time. When your media player in DOS (e.g. http://mpxplay.sourceforge.net/ wants to make a sound, you will hear it exactly then :-) > and so you can install basically any windows software > ever use a dock like apple. You can not run Windows software on Apple. You can run Windows itself on Apple, and then run Windows software in that Windows. And you can use Wine in Linux and HX in DOS to run certain software which was made for Win. > just for fun thought id throw it out there. Just for more fun, I gave you examples of cool software which already exists for DOS today :-) > write it with tutorials on how to write kernels and stuff, and > make it virtualbox compatable FreeDOS already has a tutorial for Virtualbox installation: http://www.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/VirtualBox And FreeDOS has a kernel with a tutorial (if you would use another kernel, it would not exactly be FreeDOS ;-)) http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/freedos-kernel-pat-villani/1111448642?ean=9780879304362 > ill help develop it. It already exists, the more interesting question is: What would you like to add? Which programming skills do you have? Or would you prefer to write tutorials? > the more tutorials you give, the more i can do with it What exactly do you want to do with it?
