"Protection from Virtual Machines"

The goal to create Virtual Machines always the same: Large OS goes absorb small/old OSes.

You remember what happened in 2008 (iMac/Intel, Parallels), when thousands of OS/2 users were wahsed aways from OS/2 city.

Conclusion: All official OS/2 web-sites, the developer of OS/2 *must* block the topic of Virtual Machines. Don't support the development, don't distribute the information. Yes, the topic of VM is interesting for some users but VM kill OS/2 quickly.

"One man, no man"

Building an Operating System - it's a huge project. it's like building a real City (build houses, dig flowers garden, etc). Thousands of people are going this in the city.

Conclusion: Standalone developer is unable to create something. Always join a group, interact with other developers. Moreover, interace with all other "characters" (managers, resellers, Active users, ..)

ArcaOS 5.1.1 - DOS works again

DOS virtual machine works again (it was working on Core 2 Duo, and didn't for i5). Install ArcaOS in UEFI mode to use DOS VM.

libc occupies shared memory

Giant problem of OS/2 today: linux libc libraries eat low shared memory. Nobody cares, the libraries are not recompiled to use HighMem.

Roderick Klein (Netherlands)

If you search the word "monk" in the vocabulary - you will see Roderick's photo as example.

Roderick Klein was interacting with all developers while working on eComStation. He was working in 24/7 mode during several years.

Stream: ArcaOS 5 - ghost of OS/2
