OSs (with a GUI) that you can install from floppy disk
« on: September 12, 2013, 06:11:30 pm »
Anyone knows the Operating System "House" and the programming language "Haskell"?

Reading on the web I found the official website: http://programatica.cs.pdx.edu/House/

Anyone has any experience on this operating system??? I'm really curious!!!

I know the language, but I've never heard of the OS.

then anyone has ever tried it??? I would like to lern more about it... I read that it can also work on a floppy disk... I'm researching for a system that works on very old computers with less than 128mb of ram, and this system should have minimal graphics interface ... can anyone help me? can this "House OS" help myself?

Why this? for such old machines a minimal linux OS that was built for such antique machines would be much better. Look at KolibriOS (not a linux OS though), MuLinux, TinyLinux, hell, even FreeDOS. The list goes on...

Same here.

If you are that interested in the OS just try it yourself.

OSes that fit on a floppy disk. Can't think right now of more than these; MenuetOS,  dexOS, win98 and below. Will try this when my head is clear. Gotta nap.

EDIT: If you think you needed a separate thread for this, no problem. I think i added one more in the previous thread. You might wanna updste this.
