DexOS, Dex being short for DOS Extreme, is a free and open source operating system for 32-bit x86 computers. It is written in assembly language using FASM (flat assembler). The operating system's GUI was inspired by modern video game consoles but it also includes a Command Line Interface.[1] It was designed to fit on a 1.44MB floopy disk but can run from bootable CDs or USB flash drives. DexOS can also run from from DOS, XBox, or PC emulators such as DOSbox.[2] Development is led by Craig Bamford and members of the DexOS community.[1]
