For the last few years I had been wanting to try our FreeDOS here at
the house. For those of you that do not know FreeDOS is described on their
web page as:
"FreeDOS aims to be a complete, free, 100% MS-DOS compatible operating system"
You can read more about it here:

Anyway - I took a machine that I was going to make into a contest
computer and up Win98SE on it and then I installed FreeDOS 0.9 Beta something
that I had burned to a CD several months ago. The install went junt fine
and FreeDOS even installed aboot loaded so I can choose between
Win98 and FreeDOS.
To get to the point. We are doing a M/S here this weekend and
we have two computers running. One is the old Compaq 486/50 with
DOS 6.22 on it and the other is a newer machine that is running
FreeDOS. So far it has been working just great. I am thinking that
this newer computer with FreeDOS on it will become my main contest
computer and replace the very aged Compaq 486.
