  • OS/2 - ArcaOS

    From bl00d@80:210/2.1 to All on Thu Jun 8 10:22:17 2017
    the release of ArcaOS 5.

    It's OS/2 at it's heart, with WPS shell. But with updated drivers and a
    few kernel hacks to help it run on newer systems.

    Version 5.0 is still probably not that great for new hardware, but I
    think that 5.1 or 5.2 releases will improve hardware support
    tremendously as more and more people try it on different systems.

    Personally, I think it fast and stable. I've been running my BBS on it
    for several weeks now and haven't had any issues at all. And it really
    feels a lot faster than OS/2 Warp or eComStation.

    Hi bl00d!

    Personally, I think it fast and stable.

    So is Linux.
    Actually much more so.

    And it has a huge driver library and a huge installed base.

    For me the way to go is crystal clear.
