I found this forum a long time ago through a FAQ on OS DEV.. it was as well blue background... and I think it was at the same mega tokyo thing... since then I formated my HDD 50 times and went through 3 HDDs and now I dunno how to find the FAQ(I found this forum fairly easily)

thanks

I wonder...

Could this be the FAQ you are talking about?

http://www.mega-tokyo.com/os/os-faq.html

lol, thanks

and sorry, i forgot.. stopped visiting this place about last year

good to know that so many ppl have good knowledge in this... microsoft must die in the for mof monopoly, if u know what I mean

microsoft must die in the for mof monopoly, if u know what I mean

Actually, I don't know what you mean.

Im just expressing my direct feelings towards the monopoly microsoft and the fact that they try to sink any competition and leave prey to the hawk called unstability and the like...


If you want explicit examples then try OS/2, if yuo think that that was just a smart move, then check out BeOS that was doomed to die when microsoft illegaly made a "pact" with system manufacturers/dealers that they were only allowed to sell comps with windoze preinstalled and no other OS on the HDD/comp...


I think this is the biggest and most annoying monopoly out there and I want to do something about it.. create a competition that will survive against microsoft.. that means destroying the monopoly...

I hope that cleared it up.

I think that has nothing to do with the intention of this forum...

(besides, what you mention is just the top of the iceberg)

I know its not the reason this forum was made... but thats irrelevant.. thats what I want to do and I said that I can see on this forum a lot of strength and I can see that threre still is hope...

I dont understand why you people are so anti I dont even know what.???

no one agrees with me:'(

boohoo

ever since I was 10 I wanted to do this.. I learned about OSes and how they work and crapp(only did graphics in C++ prior to that)

and the way I started was just GUIs cuz anything more was too much for my brain... but ever since I wanted to do somthing that includes the functionality of DOS in a windowed environment thats as fast as dos but multi tasking, multi user, very user friendly, with a reliable file system... everything one would want

use bsd, or linux, or qnx, even minix...

(i don't know about qnx but ufs is pretty good for me).

anyway, i agree with you. but boohoo'ing will not lead you to your victory over micro$oft .

anyway number two...i code for fun, not revenge. You can't enlighten the whole mass of people in the world who think a computer is just an x86-running-windows-to-be-used-like a-vacuum-cleaner at the same time.

They are not remotely interested in hearing about your case.

code is also a way of expression, so writing good code and making it opensource will *eventually* lead to something like a "victory".

may the open source be with you

if you like dos see http://www.freedos.org/

yea, I love coding cuz of that crative spirit thing... thats also the reason I play guitar...


and this is not REVENGE IM AFTER.. its just that Im so sick of microsoft's lousy software and tired that even though I was not blessed with a good OS I hope I can save the world from a monster and give it a real OS to ...

and I know linux BSD and the like UNIX "copies" are great... I just cant get used to the file system, commmand line.. i find dos to be very simple strainght forward and functional... linux and the like are very complicated bu first of all the tastes that all the different developers had, and also the code is hard to read cuz ot the thousands styles everybody had... And I probably could get somewhere but it would take me more time to read the linux code then write a whole new thing that is totally efficiend and has 1 style

also I cant devote all that much to OS devv as Im going into artificial inteligence to university and I have a musical career to follow as well

uh I guess too much info eh?? hehe

later man

linux and bsd are NOT unix copies.

linux derives from minix, first. minix was vaguely based on AT&T code, but AST had to do it from scratch because the code wasn't open anymore.

bsd is an OS on it's own, in fact, it has just a few things to be compatible, but bsd imposed many things (like the tcp/ip stack for example)

anyway, good luck with your stuff, man.

Linux is a Unix clone -- Linus wanted a free Unix for small PC systems -- although it's not officially a Unix.

BSD is one of the first Unix systems: it's the Berkeley System Distribution. Today's FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc. operating systems are derivatives of the University of California Unix source code.

ok... so a clone it's not a copy...

linus took some code/ideas from minix, minix was made from scratch.

the same for bsd...in 1977, and derived from the sixth unix edition (released in 1976) berkeley university wrote the bsd kernel taking ideas but no code

Actually, Linus wanted to program a terminal emulation program. Well, it got bigger and bigger and developed to an OS

hehe and actually unix was just a joke to multics.. it was some kind of a text editor, first
