OSNews, Generic OSes 12 years after the project was conceived, and after a long period in which it was useable though incomplete, FreeDOS has reached version 1.0. The ISO is downloadable at SourceForge. Versions with more extras should be available soon, as should a mail-order option.

While it is just now reaching "official" 1.0 status, FreeDOS has been quite usable as a DOS replacement for years now. I remember using close to 8 years ago on an old 386 and it worked fine.
