'''FreeDOS''' (tidligere Free- DOS og PD - DOS ) er et gratis [[operativsystem]] for [[IBM-kompatibel PC]]-er. Det har som hensikt å gi et komplett DOS-kompatibelt [[operativmiljø]] for å kjøre eldre programvare og støtte embedded-systemer <ref name="homepage">{{cite web|url=http://www.freedos.org/|title=Welcome to FreeDOS|website=FreeDOS|accessdate=2014-06-06|publisher=The FreeDOS Project}}</ref>

FreeDOS kan startes fra en [[harddisk]], [[CD]], USB eller [[diskett]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.linfo.org/freedos_floppy.html|title=How to Create a Bootable FreeDOS Floppy Disk|date=2005-07-19|accessdate=2008-08-04}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bensbits.com/2007/08/21/booting_dos_from_a_usb_flash_drive |title=Booting DOS from a USB flash drive |date=2007-08-21 |accessdate=2008-08-04 |last=Franske |first=Ben |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100218031708/http://www.bensbits.com/2007/08/21/booting_dos_from_a_usb_flash_drive |archivedate=18. februar 2010 |tittel=Arkivert kopi |besøksdato=2008-08-04 |arkivurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100218031708/http://www.bensbits.com/2007/08/21/booting_dos_from_a_usb_flash_drive |arkivdato=2010-02-18 |url-status=død }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://genetikayos.livejournal.com/43998.html|title=FreeDOS on a USB Flash Drive|date=2005-12-19|accessdate=2008-08-04|author=genetikayos}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.freedos.org/freedos/files/|title=FreeDOS Files|accessdate=2008-08-04|publisher=FreeDOS|archive-date=2011-11-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111105002254/http://www.freedos.org/freedos/files|url-status=yes}}</ref> Den kan også kjøres ved hjelp av [[virtualisering]], for eksempel via Virtual PC og [[VirtualBox]] eller x86-emuleringsprogramvare som Bochs og [[QEMU]].<ref name="linuxdevices">{{cite web |url=http://archive.linuxgizmos.com/the-past-present-and-future-of-the-freedos-project-a/ |title=The past, present, and future of the FreeDOS Project |date=2002-03-25 |accessdate=2008-06-14 |author=Hall, Jim |website=LinuxGizmos.com |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131224183747/http://archive.linuxgizmos.com/the-past-present-and-future-of-the-freedos-project-a/ |archivedate=2013-12-24 |tittel=Arkivert kopi |besøksdato=2008-06-14 |arkivurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131224183747/http://archive.linuxgizmos.com/the-past-present-and-future-of-the-freedos-project-a/ |arkivdato=2013-12-24 |url-status=død }} {{Wayback|url=http://archive.linuxgizmos.com/the-past-present-and-future-of-the-freedos-project-a/ |date=20131224183747 }}</ref> I motsetning til [[MS-DOS]], har FreeDOS [[fri programvare|fri og åpen kildekode]], lisensiert under [[GNU General Public License]].<ref name="SF">{{cite web |url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/freedos/ |title=The FreeDOS Project |date=2006-05-21 |accessdate=2008-01-02 |publisher=SourceForge}}</ref>
