gmcSo, I've been thinking about what to install on the #486DX that I fixed recently, and at first I'd thought I'd go with a period correct #MSDOS but then I reconsidered and had a look (in #86Box) at #FreeDOS, which I knew existed but had never used.
I've been playing around with it in the emulator and I'm convinced I want it. It's just so much fun to be back in DOS land again, but with the nifty additions of FreeDOS (such as a package manager) it feels more modern, in a good way.
I'm playing around with networking now to not have to write stuff to floppies in order to run stuff on the dos machine. FTP to my retro files on the NAS, for example. And now I'm exploring the package repository that is accessible through the network-enabled package manager.
Looking forward to installing this on the actual hardware!
lmemsm3/5 A #DOS based system such as #FreeDOS could be an option. It is an #OpenSource OS and can run on low resource hardware. However, #XFDOS already fills this niche.
ilobmirtBeen trying my darnest to get my favorite #vim setup to work on my most favorite OS. 
I figure I share anyway because despite the failure I'm facing now, we really gotten over a few roadblocks in setting up networking and pulling data over https.
curl doesn't have the means to pull data from https out of the box because it lacks the means to generate sufficient randomness for SSL. To correct this, you need a dedicated random$ device driver.
#freedos has the noise driver available for the i386 and Pentium x86 cpus. You get it from the lynx web browser package. Then load that from FDCONFIG.SYS
Unfortunately, I'm now butting up against the fact that vim-plug works with git, and there's no official git app for DOS at this time. I wonder if I can fake it by making a script within %PATH%
