Luca Ferrari has responded to this month's FreeDOS Blog Challenge and posted his story about how he first discovered FreeDOS, and how he uses FreeDOS today.
FreeDOS blog challenge: my short story about FreeDOS »
What I find really interesting is Luca's mention of a fax system he set up using FreeDOS, which ran for six years without problems before they finally stopped using it. That's cool! Thanks Luca!

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!
