I thought it would be neat to post a followup to the FreeDOS turns 15 years old item. Several tech news sites ran the story:
And it was great to see friends and associates with their own blog posts about FreeDOS's "birthday":
Here's looking forward to a great future with FreeDOS! I think DOS will be around for quite some time yet. I'm especially interested to see what a future FreeDOS 1.1 and 2.0 will look like, what changes we can bring to FreeDOS, and still retain what makes it "DOS".

About Me
- Jim Hall
- I'm Jim Hall, the founder and Project Coordinator for the FreeDOS Project. I started FreeDOS in 1994, when I was an undergraduate physics student at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. Other developers got in touch with me, and we began work creating our own version of DOS that would be compatible with MS-DOS. I shared the extended DOS utilities that I had written for myself, as did others. We also found public domain or open source programs that replaced other DOS commands. A few months later, we released our first FreeDOS “Alpha” distribution. And from there, FreeDOS grew into what you see today!
