About FreeDOS 1.0
FreeDOS (formerly Free-DOS and PD-DOS) is an operating system for IBM PC compatible computers. From the FreeDOS Web Site:
FreeDOS is a free DOS-compatible operating system for IBM-PC compatible systems. FreeDOS is made up of many different, separate programs that act as "packages" to the overall FreeDOS Project.
As a member of the DOS family, it provides mainly disk access and filesystem through its kernel, and partial memory management, but no GUI (although OpenGEM is recommended).
FreeDOS is currently at Version 1.0, released on September 3, 2006
FreeDOS supports old hardware such as the 1981 vintage IBM PC as well as modern ones, including the Pentium 4 CPU, in addition to embedded computers. Like MS-DOS, it boots from a floppy or hard disk but can also run from ROM[5]. Unlike MS-DOS, however, it is available for installation on a CD-ROM, and people are free to create their own custom distributions of the operating system without needing to pay a royalty for redistribution. FreeDOS is free/open source software, licensed under the GNU GPL.
