Hey Guys (and ladies)
  I wonder if any of you besides me has tried out the recently available
complete version of FreeDOS?  I was amazed at how much OS/2 and Linux,
including devel tools, are in it, such as Rexx stuff, Watcom, grep, vim,
gcc etc etc.  It is so packed you need a minimum of slightly over 2gigs
free space to see it all.  Naturally it is just blisteringly fast even on
waaay old machines (has to be some advantage to simplicity, right?) I have
only just begun checking it out and have a very limited idea of just how
far it can go but the wealth of tools and cross-platform compatibilities
are certainly interesting and possibly enticing for those of us weaned on
DOS and OS/2 and either somewhat involved with or curious about Linux. 
Worth a look.
