Hello everyone,

I have this 486dx in my basement that I want to restore. My goal is to use it as a BBS client and a DOS gaming computer.

I'm still debating whether I should install FreeDOS or MS-DOS. On the one hand, FreeDOS is up-to-date, has its own package management program, and seems easier to set up. On the other hand, it may not be as compatible as MS-DOS in regard to games that were programmed in non-standard ways.

What do you think? Should I install FreeDOS or MS-DOS (or any other flavour of DOS)?

.... DE JA FU: A feeling that things have been this FU'ed before.
