i think its a nice OS and i like some of the features. I gave up on the networking part of it for a bit and went to MSDOS. I was pretty confused on how to use FreeDOS and the documentation just wasn't saying enough for me.  Now that I learned a bit more about how to make MSDOS use ethernet I think I may give it a try again. MSDOS documentation is gone now days, but I found enough online with an OK example to get my system online.
