Now add VR support and we can visit this museum and be like in a Tron movie. You can even charge a fee anyone entering musium usin VR ;-)

Wow. That was a bit of nostalgia, just to read some of the names.

Yeah! Browsing through the screenshots truly feels like watching vintage porn.

You can only view the operating system, you can't view those websites again, haha.

One can also click on their timestamp then click "vouch".

I did, I think it needs more than one vouch. Was still dead after I vouched anyway...

That doesn't answer his question.. looks like there isn't a comprehensive list of what's actually included. Maybe for legal reasons but that's just a guess.

Maybe it falls under the "Various hobby/alternative OSes up to some very recent ones" category. I'm not going to download a one hundred gigabyte file to find out though...

I knoow right?! Wonder how much bandwidth they user per month and how much it costs them.

Blasphemy, all shall know the power of Holy-C! Sad that he struggled in life like he did and the way it ended, he was a brilliant programmer.

It's still good that his memory lives on though. Even in communities where technology isn't the focus I still see mentions of him from time to time.

HeliOS and transputers is one of the most interesting systems ever; if you use Golang and/or know 9front and concurrency you'll be at home, because it was concurrent and multicore literally by design where the CPU 'cores' synced themselves with messages.

They were pretty much ahead of time with multiprocessing.

Helios unfortunately isn't yet included. Last time I checked the Transputer emulator doesn't support the special Helios I/O server protocol, which is different from the one that the usual occam software used. It's on my long list of emulators/OSes to fix/finish though.

Very neat to see this project come to completion Andreww.

Are there any any operating systems that you'd like to add to the collection but haven't been able to find?

Maybe someone here at HN could help with that.
