First Release of CactusOS Pre-release
Pre-release

The first release of CactusOS.

The OS is stable enough to be released for the first time and can actually be used. So far it only has a simple calculator so it is not very useful yet. It can be run on every emulator (for Bochs check Readme) and it should run on every PC with a IDE controller and VESA graphics device. A mouse is also very usefull.

Attachements

  • The binary can be run with any multiboot compatible bootloader.
  • The iso file can be run directly in a emulator or burned to a cdrom.

Main Functions of this release:

  • Graphical Desktop
  • IDE Controller Driver
  • PS2 Mouse Support
  • Calculator Demo App
