FreeDOS is buggy too, but at least you can patch/fix/recompile it if needed! That's the big advantage of FOSS stuff, you don't have to wait/pay anybody to do it if you are willing and able to do it yourself.
1). Identify the bug.
2). Get a compiler + source and start hacking!
3). Post fix online for everyone to enjoy.
DR-DOS has a few minor bugs, but it's pretty good overall. I made a small list of such bugs, but I dunno if they were just setup issues (e.g. DR-EMM386 loaded, "dpmi on", RAM drive, other settings). Still, if you or anybody wants to see it, I'll upload it. But like I said, I may have misdiagnosed some bugs (e.g. SORT.EXE crashes with input of exactly two duplicate lines, IIRC).
