and disable the F5/F8 keys during boot (no safemode or boot to DOS)
AFAIK you can disable Fx keys during start-up of MS-DOS 7 (Win9x), but you can't disable Shift (safe mode command prompt only) and Ctrl (displays boot menu on Win98 [not Win95]).
No, there are tcp/ip stacks for dos. Some of them are TSR programs, some are statically linked libraries. And each of them have unique configuration mechanism.:(
(but you can always keep your IP configuration in environment variables and use batchs scripts to create configuration for all required TCP/IP stacks).
I have heard of Dos Routers and firewalls
I know two - IPRoute and Internet Extender (I was using it at home before switching to Linux router).
I wonder how freedos will deal with 64 bit CPUs. I just read that Intel's 64bit CPU will no longer support virtual x86 sessions anymore. So this means no more DOS. Will FreeDOS deal with it?
Intel IA64 chips can emulate x86, AMD64 (and Intel's clones) supports x86 natively. Unless you enter long mode, it will act as fast 16-bit/32-bit CPU.
Yes, there is Perl port to DOS, as well as bash port. Unfotunatelly, for 386+ only. Check out DJGPP project. Also there was project called GNUish to port some GNU apps to 16-bits.
Well, there is also some people believing that ancient Balts (ancestors of today's Latvians and Lithuanians) used ritual rocks as binary computers (they're keeping binary information in their opinion). I don't really understand how they think it was working, only heard such theory;)
And English/American bombers was exactly targetted at military or industrial sites? Germans dropped some first bombs to London accidentaly, English answered with massive bombings targetted to civilians. And English/American bombers dropped more bombs on Dresden than Germans on all England.

It is not correct to say that DOS is limited to 640k.

Where did you get that MS-DOS 7.10 is released under GNU GPL?When TODO list will be completed.

Wow! That's an argument!

I believe too that this is good idea. But I don't believe they can block _all_ child porno sites (AFAIK they're blocking access to specific URLs).
At least my KDE 3.1 does not handle Win key. (well, I believe it's possible, but by default Win key isn't working).
