Welcome to FreeDOS
FreeDOS is a free DOS-compatible operating system for IBM-PC compatible systems. FreeDOS is made of up many different, separate programs that act as "packages" to the overall FreeDOS Project.
We welcome new users to FreeDOS. You can contribute to the FreeDOS Project by downloading our latest release and telling us what you think. We have a bug tracking system that helps you report problems and submit requests, and otherwise tell us how to improve FreeDOS. By participating in the development and debugging process, you help everyone.
Looking for the FreeDOS 1.1 distribution? You can help make this happen!

If you have a talent for web site design, or know someone who does, this is for you: The FreeDOS web site has always been run by volunteers. But we're programmers, not web designers. Help us update the FreeDOS web site design! Web designers can submit their design idea via email. We'll post the top finalists in about a month, and provide a way for people to vote for their favorite new web design. Details are at Jim Hall's blog: http://www.freedos.org/jhall/ or more directly at http://sourceforge.net/userapps/wordpress/jhall1/2009/10/20/are-you-a-web-developer/

Yahoo! has decided to close their free Geocities accounts later this month (Oct. 26). Current users should migrate somewhere else (e.g. Tripod) as soon as possible! As you probably know, many DOS fans use or have used Geocities, so many files will potentially be lost. Grab what you can! Also, you definitely want to read the FAQ for the closing details here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/geocities/close/ . EDIT: Please hurry!!
