See HP, Dell, Asus, and you will learn quickly that FreeDOS is a
synonym for 'without operating system', intended for people that
install their own OS (which is most likely NOT FreeDOS)

Depends on what distribution - and version (even more important) -
you'll choose. If you'll use - say - SuSE-Linux 5.3, it'll be running
quite OK with its KDE 1.0 on 16 MB RAM (and with just

Motherboard installation CDs seem to be using FreeDOS a lot indeed (for
BIOS flashing as well as creating the infamous F6 Windows mass storage

I make diode testers and need an operating system that is close to "real
time". Also I need to sometimes interact directly with the computer
