V2 OS

I've been playing with V2 OS on a 386 laptop. It seems pretty neat for a unixish DOS system. To bad that the owners don't do any major work on it.

    I don't know why there is no screen shots. I don't download an OS without scr's.

    Flopies can store very much if properly copiled... Look at A simple version of MS Dos or Mac system 1

    Look @ SpinRite, those all fit (Very easily) on floppies.

    Routers, small HTTPD use, system recovery and fun to play with.

    Well if you use it for router use you want to beable to control it like a real router over the web browser. Or even use it to post some small text files. Only half of the world uses high tech computers you know. A lot of small companys use older system. Also the goverment uses quite a few 386s. You would be surprized on what people do with shit like this. You know the saying "Learn the skills of today for the jobs of tomorrow." It's really "Learn the skills of today for the jobs of yesterday." It wouldn't surprize me of some company is still using a group of systems running DOS.
