Linux distributions + Unity Linux >
Oldschool Linux was to have been usable as a general-purpose light Linux distribution, with a focus on oldschool platform and operating system emulation/virtualization, demos, games, art and music.
Its target era was to be pre-Windows: DOS, Commodore 64, Amiga, Atari, etc. Software will be Linux-native where possible, but two-stage software will be examined .. such as emulating DOS to run a DOS program.
- Platform Emulation (DOS: DOSBox and DOSEMU, other platforms like Commodore 64, Amiga, Atari)
- Console Platform Emulation (Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Genesis, Arcade, etc)
- Virtualization
- Oldschool demos (intros, demos, megademos, democomp-related stuff)
- Art (ASCII, ANSI, pixel, etc)
- Oldschool music (MODs etc, Commodore SIDs, and more)
-
Games (Free, not abandonware - either platform-specific, console or arcade games)
- This is a secondary interest.
It was to be a consumer distribution, and not a producer distribution. To be distributed with media viewers/players as well as actual content. It was to be a branch off of the Unity Linux base. It never made it past the planning stages.
Oldschool-Windows and producer editions were far-future ideas.
more coming later

(MS-DOS v1.25 and v2.0 Source Code)
This topic is primarily for MS-DOS 6.22, though I was particularly keen on 4DOS.
This topic is dead! It'll stay dead. Vanilla DOS and the internet just don't go well together. Linux with DOSEMU, a VMWare solution, or whatever, would allow a contemporary networking experience while still allowing DOS compatibility.
DOS and networking has some serious issues, namely the lack of memory it leaves. Some DOS-alternates help alleviate this though.

A DOS emulation program.
Absolutely essential for emulating DOS not just within Windows or a traditional Linux environment, but within ARM/Linux as well, for palmtops and phones.
Whoops, I broke my HP 200LX.. I'll have to get it repaired before I can re-open this project.

An early-1990s
A portable computer.
Clamshell, Full QWERTY-keyboard with a keypad and macro keys, authentic Intel 8086 hardware, true DOS, a task-switching application, and a number of GUI applications and productivity software. It is truly a portable computer.

Abandoned -- HP decided to switch to the Windows CE-supporting palmtops in their Jordana-series of palmtops, even though the 200LX was still a moneymaking operation.
This is for DOS and 4DOS. For Linux shells (Dash, Bash, Zsh, etc), see Shell scripting notes.
