osFree
« on: October 18, 2011, 03:14:36 PM »
I found out that there's an open source alternative to OS/2. It's called osFree and it's basically an one-man project from Russia. Looks potential. Looks cool. Constant but occasional 2-week or 2 months gaps of sudden update (according to the repositories).

I would like to say: wow. :)

They seem to be big on alternative OSes in Russia...

A lot of programmers and nobody to pay them. Might as well do something useful
