TODO - something to play from CGSC: .mus, .str, .wds
This is a category of music both covering "obsolete" formats and styles demanded by technological limitations and the more recent hipster minimalist music.
My primary interests are DOS modules, and Commodore 64 SIDs.

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.
TODO - There is a HELL of a lot of work which has to be integrated. This project is also heavily linked to The Archive Project and Content management.

Often called "abandonware".

A demo is an audio-visual arrangement played on a computer in software.
This particular topic is regarding the early days, now considered to be "oldschool" on legacy computer platforms.

Oldschool Linux has bunches of notes.
Things that are no longer at the fore-front of public consciousness.
