At the present time the osFree project work with low-level parts of operating system like loader and related tools. osFree project is deep in the alpha stage. That being said, they have made progress over the years, and their current status explains how far along they are. The project is very much in its early alpha stages, so don’t expect to boot into osFree any time soon. This includes rewriting not only user-level code but the OS/2 kernel too. It aims for OS/2 Warp 4 (Merlin) as a base compatibility system, which does not mean that we will not support features of newer (OS/2 Warp Server for e-business, eComStation and ArcaOS) OS/2 versions. osFree is a Free Open Source software operating system development project, aiming to replace eventually all OS/2 subsystems with Open source analogues. ![]() This week, I found out a similar effort is underway to recreate OS/2 Warp 4 as an open source operating system. We’re all aware of Haiku, the open source re-implementation of BeOS.
