Amiga & AROS VmwAROS started in november 2007, as a pre-installed AROS environment for VMware, but starting with the new version 0.7, published today, it has turned into a complete distribution called VmwAROS LIVE!. From now on, it will be available in two flavours: pre-installed in a virtual machine, and as a live-CD. New users will be able to boot their computers straight into a enhanced AROS environment, with DHCP network support and preliminary web browser. A complete list of new features is available at this site. VmwAROS VM beta 0.7 can be downloaded from here. VmwAROS LIVE! 0.7 can be downloaded from here.

I really like these alternate OS virtual machine distributions. I have installed VMWare Server (free as in beer), and I find it very handy.

The VmwAROS site says that they have FTP working. Since there are already cross-platform compilers, this removes the last major hurdle for me to trying my hand at AROS development again.

Good work, VmwAROS team!

Not bad; a little sluggish and unstable but a nice snap shot.
