Back to DOS in 2025 - Part 1 There were a time when I was deep into MS-DOS/FreeDOS. Eventually I lost interest. Now I'm back. 2025 will be my year of the DOS. To me it is the perfect OS. It's the simplest and easiest to modify. It runs on *any* PC you can imagine. It boots in seconds. The only downside is that it is single-tasking system. Not ideal for programming, perfectly fine for gaming/writing. Your computer becomes a dedicated tool not a whole workshop. I have an Asus EEE PC 701. Perfect machine for this job. I was using it in the past with FreeDOS with grate success. It's time to take it from the drawer, dust out and bring life to it. The plan is: - Install FreeDOS - Setup for laptop (acpi) - Setup networking - Setup FTP server that is compatible with my retro stuff - Play with autoexec.bat for some nice splash screen
