I remember DOS 5.0 being a pretty solid OS, and quite lightweight as well. We did end up running 6.22 eventually but I don't recall there being a marked improvement. There doesn't seem to be any critical features to warrant the later version (DRVSPACE?) so it raises the question.
Strictly speaking from a software (specifically, gaming) compatibility standpoint, is there a particular reason to run 6.22? I'm thinking that there isn't, and it would make more sense to run the lighter 5.0 instead.
As an aside: does anyone actually run FreeDOS on their old machines? Is there a particular advantage to that?
