WinWar is fantastic, And I'd recommend to everyone.
Alas the AROS people don't seem to care that most (windows) people use winZip which takes loads of work to decompress the file, A simple how to on their web-site would have helped people to use the Program.
Dunno, but it struck me as sort of snobbery, if you need help to decompress the file then you won't understand the program sort of thing. But maybe I'm being unjustly critical there.
Anyhoo, I shall download it at work and give it another go.
I really hope they're getting there, it's a great idea but they were WAY behind OS4 the last time I looked. Even speaking as a Amiga One owner I really hope they get this right, Linux just dosn't tickle my fancy.

I downloaded the ISO and burned it on CD just like every other linux/bsd ISO but this time the CD didn't boot at all. The boot-up process just skipped the CD as if it was a non bootable CD. Any ideas? Everything is set correctly from the BIOS, boot from CD is on. First boot device = CDROM.
There are nightly builds on www.aros.org. Maybe you should check if nightly cd image acts the same.
I had the same problem with some max distro but the nightly worked. Those are just plain aros and does´nt contain the goodies max does but its a good way to find out if your PC is able to run aros.

There's also KHTML port for the MorphOS coming along/ And since MorphOS and AROS are basically API-compatible...
Some Screenshots of Feelin which will soon be running under AROS as well. The port has been started and stuff visible already. Here a full list of the beauty.

I used to like it, and to be honest did miss it a bit on the Amiga, well, until I started using Dock, both on the Amiga and MacOS, and that just showed me just how bloated and confusing the Start Menu had become. I mena if you've got every bloomin' program and help and all that you might as well, look in "My computer", or whatever.
Thing is a start menu is not reqired on AROS/AOS/MOS. The normal system menu is expandable, start menu things should be integrated here.
No need of such a left bottom extra menu.
For application lauching, a panel like integrated in Ambient (MorphOS) is much better suited.

It's still not usable as first OS, while I have been using OS4 on the Amiga1 for the last few months as just that. But it's getting there, it seems resonably stable and slow (given the CD boot system), I've got a spare Hard drive kicking about someplace I think I'll try and install it onto that.
The question is, will I use it? With a certain extent I'm stuck with the Amiga One I have to change the keyboard mouse monoitoretc over, will I be as likey to boot into AROS when it's just a boot selection to 'nice' safe compfy Windows 2000. Where I know everyting works?
Hmmm.
It's a shame we've got all this choice of AOS4, AROS and MorphOS (whoich I've never used incidently) I suspect with all the work into one system we'd have a extrememly profient Amiga OS as a world beater! (possibly)
