A little off topic....but just finishing up family Christmas activities and sitting back with a egg nog toddy at my Linux powered workstation and wanted to wish you Michael and all your loved ones a very Merry Christmas. Plus....a big thank you for all your hard work here at Phoronix.com. It is truly a daily resource for me. I only have a handful of sites that I have to read every day and Phoronix is one of them. I also pledge to you a donation. It's time for me to stop being a consumer and start being a supporter. May have to wait until my next paycheck since I blew a lot on Christmas.....but it's coming !

And to all the Phoronixers who inhabit this site.....a very Merry Christmas as well and best wishes for the upcoming New Year !

If anyone is thinking of trying this out for playing DOS games beware that there are some compatibility issues caused mainly by FreeDOS' default CD-ROM driver.

Nice to see it still being supported. Recently used it for a VM setup and occasionally for BIOS updates on older machines.
