World's Samllest Real OS

Recommended Posts

This is the kind of developmet that will bring on the age of 'small is big' poewr machines. Its increadable that an OS can be configured to use very low CPU resources. When you look at OS like Microsoft that is GUI frontended - OS usually take up a large chunk of Memory and CPU. Will look forward to a time when an implant in my molars and a VDU implanted in my eye is all I require to access the internet, communicate with people worldwide and do complex computing processess in my mouth.. :rolleyes:

This IS practical for end users. For the few people still using C64, this is a nice, user-friendly environment that's far nicer than anything else except for maybe GEOS. But GEOS is older, bigger and has less features... The sensor usage is impractical, but on a computer like C64 or Apple II, it's great.

I agree. I looked at the screen shots for it and the funny thing is that it looks a lot like the early days of Mac OS. :rolleyes::) However, I didn't like the early Mac OS's so I doubt that I would like this one..

:) :)

Yeah, I always forget that there are some of those still in some form of everyday use. I remember when Commodore in West Chester, PA shut down and they auctioned everything off. Sometimes I forget that they are still out there.

That website doesn't say anything about it's size, the only thing I found was the daily snapshots, they are 1.3mb. I don't think this is much of a real OS, not one you could post here on. Stuff like DSL (Damn Small Linux) are smallest, proper operating systems.

oh why did I have to throw away that Commodore :P . Sigh, never grew up with it, but sometimes I wish I had.I would have loved to try out this litlle OS on a commo, back to basic, no fancy graphics, no real images, just a lot of simple lines and dots :P .
