The AROS team has published a new status update. “Our latest status update is about three months old, but in the meanwhile we didn’t sit somewhere doing nothing. Lots of improvements and bugfixes have been made to several components of AROS, in order to make it work better.”
Lovely to hear updates on aros, the question of when Aros be ready for day to day is getting closer and closer. I love the project, it makes a dream of an open source AmigaOS a reality.
Hopefully we can get a email client going, and a internet browser then I’m all groovy baby!
The Long awaited IBrowse 2.4 is apparently just about to be released, not available for AROS as far as I know, but at least some good news on the Amiga Browser front.

That would make AROS a packaged deal.
Not a lot of interest in this thread.
Amiga Market is small, and triple forked, meaning the whole thing seems a little, forked, if you don’t mind my French.
Shame really as I always thought that the Amiga OS was a far better basis of an OS than say 1960s UNIX, still what do I know.
I suppose in principal the open source, runnable on most i386 systems should be the leader in the AMiga OS field, what with the “offical” OS4 and MorphOS having to used specialised Hardware, but it dosn’t seem to going that way.
Suppose i should download this version before pontificating, but I’ve found AROS deveoplment to painfully slow, is this any different?
