 Ni> When you say FreeDOS is "up to date", what does that mean?

It means that FreeDOS will run well on a modern PC whereas MS-DOS probably
won't.

I have FreeDOS set up on an old HP that I picked up at Goodwill.  FreeDOS will
support things like mounting a USB drive, for example.  Where MS-DOS won't even
know what a USB drive is.

IHMO: If you are running anything newer than a Pentium system, go with FreeDOS.
 Pentium and below, MS-DOS will work fine.
