DOS

Absolutely essential for emulating DOS not just within Windows or a traditional Linux environment, but within ARM/Linux as well, for palmtops and phones.

DOS-style "dir" on Linux

2009-08-20

CLI, DOS, HOWTO, Linux

2014-08-02 - I've since got this covered. See mine.sh and dir()

/bin/ls --color -gGh "$@" | \cut -b14-

Example output:

4.0K 2009-08-16 10:21 directory1 112K 2009-07-19 09:28 directory2

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, c64, 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 c64, Amiga, Atari)
Console Platform Emulation (NES, Sega Genesis, Arcade, etc)
Virtualization
Demos (intros, demos, megademos, democomp-related stuff)
Art (ASCII, ANSI, pixel, etc)
Music (MODs etc, c64 SID, and more)
Games (Free, not abandonware - either platform-specific, console or arcade games)
1. 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.
