Since I have a PC capable of running
V2_OS, and it has
a harddrive that I don't care if it gets trashed, I decided to give it a
try.
It does load fairly quickly. And it does appear to be quite slick. And I
do like the different screens you can flip through:
- Terminal screen, which gives you a simple monitor.
- Module screen, which would (if there were any) list
all the modules loaded into the system.
- Bootup screen, which shows you the boot messages.
- Debug screen, which modules or programs can use to dump
diagnostic messages to.
- Crash screen, which gives a register dump in case of
a fatal error.
Nothing that any other operating system can't do, but it is nice to see
stuff like that.
But for all that, it's still pretty much a rather poor 32-bit clone of
MS-DOS.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
