<p>Svarog386 is a <a href="?p=tech&amp;art=licensing">free</a>, <a href="?p=nls">multilingual</a> DOS distribution based on FreeDOS. It's released in the form of a single bootable CD image (ISO) that contains the FreeDOS kernel, a command interpreter and a variety of third-party packages.<br>
Svarog386 is a "rolling release", meaning that it doesn't follow the concept of "versions". Svarog386 can be kept up-to-date either via online <a href="?p=tech&amp;art=onlinerepos">update repositories</a> or by using the latest ISO image as your local package repository.</p>
 
<p>Svarog386 is <b>not</b> designed for strict 8086 compatibility. Many parts of it might require a 386-class CPU. If you look for a simple 8086 FreeDOS distribution, take a look at <a href="http://svarog86.sourceforge.net">Svarog86</a>.</p>

<p>The FreeDOS project began 29 June 1994. Version 1.0 came around in 2006. Version 1.1 has been released in 2012, and the version 1.2 is likely to be release somewhere at the end of 2016. This translates roughly to a 5-years release cycle. Granted, the DOS scene is not as active as it used to be, but still, many things happen during a few years.</p>
 
<p>Svarog386 is very different in this regard: there is no versions at all! Svarog386 is always up to date - this implies two things: first, whenever a new program is included into the distribution, or anything is updated, then the ISO release is immediately updated and available through the Svarog\'s website. Second, all existing systems can be easily kept up-to-date, thanks to the distribution\'s package manager. The package manager can keep your system up to date either by using internet repositories (if your system is connected to the internet), or you can feed it with new versions of the Svarog386 CD-ROM from time to time, and it will update whatever packages needs to be updated.</p>
