#DOSember isn't JUST about gaming, so I want to celebrate the season by doing something new to me: giving #FreeDOS a try! I've known about it for ages but I've never actually used it before. I'm going to give it a try in 86Box, and once I've got a feel for it there I'll set it up on my Win98 machine.

It seems to have a nice package collection and I get the impression that dev and networking on it are pretty solid. And of course we'll do some gaming!

@PurpleJillybeans I tried #FreeDOS on bare metal years ago and found it fragile. I've tried it since on pcemu and I think perhaps it includes instructions that weren't in the 8088. Never had luck with it either way.
