It's the point when an OS becomes self-sufficient. Many developers won't bother with the OS until it reaches that point.

It'll be great when this work gets mainlined and that webkit port pokes up again....

Just like AmigaDOS was, it's on the brink of usability.

Now if only someone would write some more nice apps for AROS (or at least pick up the last open source version of Lunapaint, which the author has cruelly decided to not only close source, but make commercial ) Wed, 29 Oct 2008 03:15:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (madcrow) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?335435 http://osnews.com/thread?335435 Compilation process was a bit cryptic for me and I was to lazy to dig deeper. Finally I can experiment with it.
The funny fact: right after I downloaded live CD I reboot Vista to apply latest MS patch and it successfully died =) Wed, 29 Oct 2008 09:38:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (viton) Comments
