RISC OS and Linux. In tandem.
Easy Dual Operating Systems is a specially formatted drive and dedicated switching
application that allows both RISC OS and Raspberry Pi OS (a variant of Debian Linux) to
run on the same RISCOSbits Raspberry Pi system, without unplugging, pressing any
buttons, or changing files. Just click on the icon to run the application.
The Best Of Both
EDOS
System Speed
Super Fast.
When installed in our systems, both Operating Systems can be safely run at 2.2GHz
or above, without the risk of overheating. Couple that with Raspberry Pi OS making
the best use of a solid state drive over a high speed USB 3 connection and you have
a system that flies. With an optional NVMe drive upgrade on the FOURtress system,
it’s even faster! Sadly, it’s so fast, you may never see the Raspberry Pi splash
screen…
Storage
Share your stuff.
By using clever formatting of the drives inside each system, it possible to run both systems
as fast as possible. Cleverly created partitioning on the dual drives inside the system
means that both RISC OS and Linux can share files with each other easily. This has the
added advantage for RISC OS that RISCOSbits’ Super Turbo Drive system is still available
for speeding up those apps that can sometimes run slowly.
RISC OS Prime
For the occasional Linux user.
The machine automatically boots into
RISC OS. Once Linux is loaded,
using the dedicated !Linux
application, when the system is
rebooted, it automatically returns the
system to the relative comfort of
RISC OS.
Linux Prime
For those who may wish to use Linux
on a regular basis.
The system initially boots into RISC
OS. After running the !Linux app, the
system will continue to reboot into
Linux, until you run the RISC OS
program on the Linux desktop. It will
then return to RISC OS after a reboot.
Booting
You choose how it works.
