LoseThos 6.20
Reviewing 4.15 (Oct 1, 2008)
Just to clarify a couple misconceptions the last reviewer spoke of...
First... why are you exploring alternative operating systems if you want them to be like Windows or Linux? It's pointless to make it the same, stupid in fact. See http://www.losethos.com/ for an explaination.
I will proudly proclaim it is 100% new, different and I claim better. It's for programming as entertainment -- writing new programs, not running programs imported from elsewhere. You can do "hello world" in one line of code and draw graphics on the screen in two.
Files with names not ending in 'Z' on FAT32 partitions can be freely transferred in and out of another operating system you duel boot with and they will be uuncompressed. If you have a file ending in 'Z', copy it to a name not ending in 'Z' and it will be stored uncompressed.
It's 18 Meg because it has a dictionary and the Bible. I didn't want to scare people with a file that is 2 Meg or have it dismissed as too small to be significant.
If it were not 100% new, it could not be public domain. You can do anything you like with it, even make money. You do not need to mention it if you encorporate it into something you sell. You do not need to share code changes with me. You can fork it. You can make a video game that runs on a live CD and sell it. (LoseThos is only 18 Meg (or 2 Meg) and you could make a universal video game CD, independent of operating system because it includes an operating system.)
