4 cool facts you should know about FreeDOS (Opensource.com)

In honor of the 23rd anniversary of FreeDOS, project founder Jim Hall has written about the project over at Opensource.com. The free MS-DOS replacement has been in around for longer than MS-DOS was and is still under active development. "DOS is an old system and the original didn't support networking out of the box. Typically, you had to install device drivers for your hardware to connect to a network, which was usually a simple network like IPX. Few systems supported TCP/IP.With FreeDOS, not only do we include a TCP/IP networking stack, we include tools and programs that let you browse the web. Use Dillo for a graphical web browser experience, or Lynx to view the web as formatted plain text. If you just want to grab the HTML code and manipulate it yourself, use Wget or Curl."
