Hi, I missed the fun of this thread, but I guess Kirl may mean Microsoft's VMM. Opinions may vary, for many DOS is exclusively 16-bit, but in my opinion, VMM+VsDs is DOS too (VDOS, VFAT, VREDIR... all are the 32-bit versions of DOS concepts). The fact that Microsoft did sell them attached to Wind

Hi, Earlier you tried to negotiate with those who ported the x-server to Free Dos (https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/mailman/freedos-user/thread/4f0b8ad3.7050...@gmail.com/ by the way a copy is saved on the web archive). I don't understand why deploying open source web applications, for example

Thank you for answering me. A lot of effort has been put into this project. Thank you all. I would like to ask why a single-user system could not act as, for example, a jabber server, Nas storage? No support for multithreading? Cannot handle multiple TCP/IP connections simultaneously? These are

I know about web servers for Free DOS. But so far it is only for static content. If you use it for a static site like Hugo then maybe. It's all pointless while electricity is more expensive than hosting. That's why you need to do more complicated things like a Pleroma server, DNS... To make it

Hi armo...@mail.ee It's obvious that Freedos is dying. What makes you think so? I can probably revive it if I take a course towards the servers. Which servers? For example, you can save a lot of money if you deploy a VPN on Free DOS. Linux is better for that and zero already is a ver
