Does anybody have any good ideas as to how I can put FreeDOS to use? I would like to be able to use a GUI like IceWM, but have not gotten that far. Still need to figure out how to get some of this other stuff to work, but I saw shots of IceWM running via cygwin/x (which has X11 for DOS). I tried out the Seal 2.0 GUI they have available and in true Windows form, I had to restart the GUI every time I tried to do anything.

Other than that, I'm just wanting to know what exactly I can do with FreeDOS other than find a use for the old Quake, Wolfenstein3D, Doom, and Duke3D stuff I have laying around. Any ideas on this would be appreciated since I just installed FreeDOS this morning along with the games mentioned, beat the games and started on the GUI stuff all before dinner.

digitalhead will already know this but for anyone else

As a replacement for MS(PC)-DOS. . . .

Otherwise you're probablly better off using a stripped down Linux distro. It's just another tool. Use it to solve existing problems rather than creating new ones to apply it to.
