[[en:about|osFree]] is a [[wp>FOSS|(Free Open Source software) operating system]] development project, aiming to replace eventually all [[wp>OS/2]] subsystems with Open source analogues. 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, [[wp>eComStation]] and [[wp>ArcaOS]]) OS/2 versions. This includes rewriting not only user-level code but the OS/2 kernel too. | [[en:about|osFree]] is a [[wp>FOSS|Free Open Source software]] operating system development project, aiming to replace eventually all [[en:os_2|OS/2]] subsystems with Open source analogues.

We're collecting existing code for OS/2 subsystems for years. Also we are developing our own bootloader named [[en:freeldr|FreeLdr]] and OS/2 personality for [[wp>L4_microkernel_family|L4 microkernel]], i.e. a number of servers, implementing the Control Program (OS/2 kernel) Interface functionality in userspace. See [[en:docs:general:index|osFree design and development concept]] for more details.
