[edit] BugOS
This operating system appears to be the creation of a single person as a hobby. Very few google references exist, other than Wikipedia or DMOZ mirrors, and other uses of the unrelated word "bugos". I don't think an operating system someone wrote themselves as a hobby that is historically insignificant, insignificant in terms of operating systems research, has insignificant production use, and which no one seems to have heard of, is sufficiently notable to warrant inclusion in wikipedia. Sure, its a cool thing to write your own operating system (I've always wished I had done it), and it takes some effort. But merely doing so does not in and of itself warrant your work's inclusion in an encyclopedia. --SamuelKatinsky 13:01, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete and wait a few years. Honestly, who would create an OS with the look and feel of DOS, in this day and age? Alphax τεχ 15:53, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep amateur operating systems are valuable starting points in programming learning. User no longer active. 19:34, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep provisionally. I can certainly see the value of this article if this OS is specularly stable or something else revolutionary but it certainly needs to be expanded. In particular where's that link to the official site running on this OS? Sirkumsize 02:52, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
