About the "Demi OS" Development Project
Demi OS was first started on Friday September 9th, 2005. It is a project based on a simple microkernel, that, although simple, must be able to run 32-bit applications that other OS's can run (after recompilation to run natively, of course). It is built from the ground up completly around its only integrated module - A GUI. From the very start of the kernel, it will be using color pixel-based graphics. It will never use text mode, once it is done with the bootloader. However, this does not mean the GUI is top-priority; In fact, much less. In the start, the graphics layer will simply have a simple 9x14 font system built on it.
Demi OS runs on any Pentium 1 or higher Computer with a 1.44MB floppy drive and at least 16MB of RAM. To run the non text-based interface, however, better stats will be required. It is projected to require at least 32MB of RAM to run the simple GUI, or even a few simple programs.
This project is the sole invention of Christohper J. Corsi (of Irmo Computers). It is also completly managed and maintaned by me ( & TomB, but he's a different story entirely...). The source code is NOT under a public license, and is only for learning purposes.
