There are lots of people out there who helped make FreeDOS and keep it going. It's not just me. I'm sure there is a FreeDOS person near you who will happily accept a beer!:-)
That was completely uncalled for, APK. Only you know why you felt the need to post that comment, but it's way out of line. You should apologize to Jim Hall.
Apk didn't post that. You try to frame him by impersonating him. Apk clarified what's going on here to Mr. Hall https://news.slashdot.org/comm... [slashdot.org]

What, you lack the courage to apologize for your horrible comment? Instead of owning your mistake, you try to weasel out of it and say that someone impersonated you. You couldn't even resist attacking Jim Hall in your original comment, hence the "OpenSORES" nonsense you posted there. You need to apologize.
Grow up idiot. It's too obvious you impersonated apk. His original post compliments the FreeDOS project https://news.slashdot.org/comm... [slashdot.org] & apk says his Opensores is sarcasm there but with good reason. It does have up and down sides.
I'm disappointed in you. For someone who says he respects people who accomplish good and useful work, you contradict that by attacking Jim Hall. This is unfortunate, and I think less of you after reading this comment. We need more people like Jim Hall, who create and develop cool and useful projects like FreeDOS. It's too bad you felt the need to post this comment, APK.

No we all know it's you projecting that apk has done well in software over decades https://news.slashdot.org/comm... [slashdot.org] and you project you are JEALOUS of apk. You did more, earlier and better than apk in that link of what is only a small part of what he can show? Prove it.
Man I miss some of this stuff. I think I'll install it in an emulator and go find some text windowing interface, maybe recompile an old Turbo Pascal project of mine or install dBase.
This is a big "be nice if I could" project for a lot of people. We live vicariously through guys like you.
Thanks! We're really glad people like using FreeDOS!
Speaking for myself, FreeDOS is a great hobby. Some people play golf in their spare time, I write code and give it away. I just love working with open source! (And I guess I have to love it, if I'm going to work in open source for this long.)

I'd love to see FreeDOS on Raspberry Pi.. but unfortunately I don't see it happening. Like any DOS, FreeDOS makes certain assumptions about the system. FreeDOS requires an Intel CPU and a BIOS. The Raspberry Pi is an ARM CPU, and doesn't have a BIOS.
But that's not to say that it's impossible to put FreeDOS on a Raspberry Pi, on bare metal. Before Pat Villani contributed his kernel to FreeDOS, the predecessor kernel (DOS/NT) actually ran on the M68k. The FreeDOS kernel has seen considerable updates since th
