So apparently this isn't "just" a FreeDOS distro? That's interesting; I sorta didn't realize there were multiple living DOS implementations.

The idea is to make it more compatible with DOS 6.x
So I believe things like Long filenames are not emphasised.
btw, if you want to keep up with the freedos community (unfortunately) the facebook group is the best place to do it https://www.facebook.com/groups/freedosproject/
Is this link really http? Safari on latest iOS refuses to open it.
(All modern browsers will do the same although on desktop you could bypass security restrictions.)
On the upside not being able to open the link led me to find out 86box emulator.
