Hello all, several months ago I decided to start my own FreeDOS-based distribution, so I thought it's time to announce it here now. Surely some of you will find it interesting.

Svarog386 is a free, multilingual DOS distribution based on FreeDOS. It's released in the form of a single bootable CD image (ISO) that contains the FreeDOS kernel, a command interpreter and a variety of third-party packages. Svarog386 is a "rolling release", meaning that it doesn't follow the concept of "versions". Svarog386 can be kept up-to-date either via online update repositories or by using the latest ISO image as your local package repository.

This is pretty nice actually. I will give it a try. I also noticed you have Svarog86 which is also of interest to me. Thanks for sharing.

This quick message to announce that Svarog386 is halted, its successor is SvarDOS: http://svardos.osdn.io

SvarDOS is based on the same concepts as Svarog386, but is meant to be more universal, including 8086 systems as well. Existing Svarog386 installations can be easily "migrated".
