FiwixOS 2 (truly self-hosted)
Posted: Tue Mar 24, 2020 9:15 am
Hello everybody!,
Just wanted to let you know that I have just released the second version of FiwixOS which includes the latest version of the Fiwix kernel.
In this FiwixOS 2 version all software ported has been natively compiled in the same operating system (including the GCC toolchain). That's why I say that this is a truly self-hosted operating system.
You can browse through the source code of the Fiwix kernel directly from the project's web site at https://www.fiwix.org/global/HTML.
In the downloads page you'll find a raw hard disk image with the system recently installed to make life easier to all people that want to test it.
FiwixOS 2 has been tested either on virtual hardware (different versions of QEMU and VMware Player), and on real hardware (old: i386, i486, Pentium MMX, Pentium II, Pentium III, AMD K6 and newer).
Any questions, thoughts, etc., just let me know.
Thanks.
