Have you tried DR-DOS's multitasking?
Actually no! I guess it's possible then?
But at some point you have to look at the history of prot-mode, isolated
processes, installable services, 32/64 bit architecture, self-headling
file-systems, and decide how far to take it with something like FreeDOS.
I see no reason an intense calculation program could not run under
FreeDOS on a network server, but can it run 32bit/64bit and will the
people who write it have a big enough market? Would it really run any
better on a big server than on a high-spec single processor custom built
computer? My guess is no...
If you're going to invest in a big server, I think you need an o/s that
can run many things at once, otherwise it will be sitting idle for a
long time and won't be able to service many different types of request...
