-We released this preview to show actual possibility of LX executables (native OS/2 executable file format) to be run on top of L4. Output from LX executable is "I am really small!" phrase. Other things is debug output. Our executable uses msg.dll which uses doscalls.dll. So, linking also works. Also we present here osFree loader which allow to load as Multiboot compatible kernels as native OS/2 kernel. Loader is moduler and easy to extend. Next release will provide some interactive like directory browsing and files execution. See roadmap at [[http://www.osfree.org]] for more info. +

 +==== Getting access to site areas ====
  
-We hosted at We supported by  Donate to us Develop with us +The site has several separate areas, like [[en:start|wiki]], [[http://osfree.org/forum/|forum]], [[http://osfree.org/mantis/|bugtracker]], [[http://osfree.org/roundcube/|webmail]] and [[http://osfree.org/dp/|dotProject]]. If you want to get access to these, you should register [[http://osfree.org/forum/ucp.php?mode=register|here]] first. After you verify your account via email, you'll get access to all five parts of the site. Approval of user accounts by site admin is now disabled. After verification of your account, you need to wait 15 mins or less, until your account info is propagated from forum to another site parts. Note also, that there is a guest account (user: guest, password: guest), which allows you to login to the site areas, requiring a login (like a dotProject area). It gives you a read only access. Once you log in into the forum, you get access to wiki too, and vice versa. The same login applies to dotProject, webmail and bugtracker. After adding to "Users" group you'll get a write access to wiki, bugtracker and forum. If you want to contribute to site design or development, or to get a mail account, the admin can add you to corresponding user groups and your access level will be increased. In case of troubles, or questions, you can contact site [[http://osfree.org/forum/memberlist.php?mode=contactadmin|admin]].
