Keeping DOS alive and kicking with open source

Back in my sysadmin days, I used FreeDOS to update Dell BIOS firmware. My bootable USB had FreeDOS, Knoppix, and RHEL rescue image. I have some old DOS games that I still like to play and I've always used DOSBox, but I should try using FreeDOS to see if that clears up some of the annoying glitches I get sometimes.

Technical documentation doesn't have to be dull

Great point, Greg. I think it's important to be as funny as you can and no funnier. :-)
