First of all, I know what a house is. And of course, I first used your OS four
years ago. Just to run classic games. By the way, it works great, much better
than many emulators. now few people want to sit and look at the console. except
for launching classic games or a server. and VPN is not the best thing that can
be done with a server. but if it was possible to place servers on it, for
example, activity pub and this was known, then their popularity would grow
since such equipment is not suitable for much (4-256 MB RAM, for example)

<jh...@freedos.org>, First, I'll say that this appears to be either a troll or
spam. Opening with "FreeDOS is dying" is a classic troll "opening." And there's
a note in there that seems to be a discussion with someone else that was
accidentally copied/pasted into the email, but shouldn't have been: > > I

other proposals later. > > > > ## Domain And while I usually don't reply to
trolls or spam, I'll reply briefly anyway: At best, this is someone who doesn't
understand what DOS is. And we get these emails from time to time - I know that
I get emails at my personal address from people who have just discovered
FreeDOS, and maybe tried to install it, but they don't know what "DOS" is or
how to use it. And then they suggest some odd ideas, like "you should make
FreeDOS for a Samsung watch" or "you should port FreeDOS to an Amiga" or
something else. This person is suggesting turning FreeDOS into some kind of
server-oriented platform, like a FreeDOS VPN. FreeDOS is an open source
DOS-compatible operating system that you can use to play classic DOS games, run
legacy business software, or write new DOS programs. That's the goal. We're an
open source DOS. It's clearly a troll. Don't feed the trolls. On Fri, Jul 12,
