Submitted by The 0.68 release of the Visopsys OS went live today. It’s a maintenance release with the usual array of tweaks and bug fixes, plus a focus on disk I/O performance; the software disk caching was re-written, and lookahead/write caching were added to the IDE driver. Another new feature is secure deletion (shredding) of files, partitions, and disks. Change log here and downloads here.

But I hope that it becomes self-hosting soon… (binutils/gcc port etc..)
It might be fun to port some applications over to it
Well. I’d like to see a tcp/ip stack.
…yes, and support for TV cards and USB and Firewire and all the other cool features OSX and Windows have. (Irony)
One step at a time, man. They have done great work. Do not put this pressure on them. Give them the time to get sorted! Or do you want to see another new OS going down under the pressure of users demanding this and that they know from their original OS (which has been developed over decades)?
Hey, just a minor correction to your post. Visopsys is a one-man show. Replace “they” with “he”.
All the more reason not to harass the guy. He’s already busy enough as it is.
Nice to see these one-man shows progress. But I have to say… this must be the ugliest GUI ever written
But it’s 0.68, so who cares.
I think the partition manager would be a really useful tool in some situations, like a free replacement to the basic functionality of partition magic.
Has anyone tried this in the most recent versions? Using a previous version I tried to define a custom parition type, but the software would only allow the listed partition types. Every other decent (not dos fdisk) partition manager allows you to set your own types.
