"The J operating system is primarily intended for programmers. I've attempted to lower the bar, so amateurs can contribute. I hope to recreate the dynamic environment that used to exist when the Commodore 64 was around and everyone was creating odd-ball software." You can download it from this page.

There are three things I want in an OS website.
1) Screenshots:
What dose it look like? Is it GUI or CLI? I am so shallow that I don’t want to use extremely ugly systems.
2) Documentation:
What dose it do? How do I get it to do that? In your case some info on the programming environment would be nice.
3) Live CD:
Floppies are dead. Some people don’t even have them anymore and I’m not just talking about new computers. Would you replace your floppy drive when it brakes? J might have one, depending on what JCD is.
Even if JCD is a live CD I wouldn’t try it because I don’t know what I’m getting into. I’m not saying your system is bad, I would just like more information before I commit to something.
