Andrew introduces a pre-configured Linux VM containing emulated versions of dozens of historical and obscure operating systems.
I have released a virtual museum of operating systems (and standalone applications) running under emulation, implemented as a Linux VM image with a custom graphical launcher. All included OSes and emulators are pre-configured. Almost every well-known OS is included in some form, and so are many obscure ones. While the state of software preservation has significantly improved over the past few decades, a lot of the existing work is less accessible than it should be. This project is my attempt to change that and make as much of the history that's been preserved as possible readily available in one place.

Recommended as an impressive software preservation project that makes historical operating systems easily accessible.
