KolibriOS

A 6-minute screencast of this operating system written in Assembly language.
KolibriOS is open source with lots of applications and everything fits into a single floppy disk, amazing!
It looks so slow because I registred using qemulator and had other applications running, sorry.
Well, enjoy and if you like it you can download it from their official site: www.kolibrios.org

The "Colibri mon ami" soundtrack (perfect match, innit?) is Creative Commons from Jamendo by Superkenel e Crashconver (Digicat in Timeless Land album), thanks guys!

I have two questions:

1)How do i install them to a usb flash drive?

2)Which one is better, Kolibri or menuet ?

[podcastoro]

@snj123451 -

1) Here the instructions from their wiki: wiki(dot)kolibrios(dot)org/wik­i/Booting_from_USB_flash

2) KolibriOS is based on Menuet, I'd say that kolibri is more actively developed and has a nicer interface and more programs, but it's just a matter of taste I guess

you know it's easier to boot from usb then floppies nowdays, how much lines of WASTE is this?

[podcastoro]

Well, the above was booted from an iso file with an emulator, simply just for fun. Of course, I agree with you: Most new PCs don't even have a floppy drive, but -no offence or flame war intended- please consider that what you call "waste" is a resource for someone. I'm not a programmer nor am I involved in the development of KolibriOS but I respect their effort, that OS is fast, no one can argue that Assembly is a powerful language, even if few people can understand it. Just my two cents, ta.

hey... r u want to show the KolibriOS or your eye candy desktop?

[podcastoro]

Sorry, I'm not too good at screencasting and post-editing so I just moved the emulator window, which doesn't stay in the same place after kolibri boots, don't know why (btw, the "eye candy" are just Compiz effects, didn't even think it would bother someone). Anyway, if you have a way of recording KolibriOS on action not from an emulator or have any tips feel free to share them, thanks.

@wyrrox what a freak. this doesnt even have proper wifi. 

[wyrrox]

That's a great little OS :) I prefer that than windows.

[terrystutorials]

Of all the OS's I've seen with a GUI, other than Windows, Linux, and Mac, yours is the most advanced.

[ikemkrueger]

You're right. :)

WINE would let you run Windows apps, but it is not ported to KolibriOS, and is unlikely to be for a long time (KolibriOS isn't POSIX compliant for a start, so WINE would need a lot of rewriting). Enjoy the OS for what it is. : )

@wasitrealy

There are ASM-coded OSes in 16bit and 64bit, don't know what you mean by highlighting 32bit, sorry.

FYI, KolibriOS is a fork of MenuetOS, AFAIR.
