Is it possible to install from USB? I don't have a portable DVD drive so it'd have to work either from 2GB SD in a USB drive or ye olde iomega Zip CD drive (God help me USB 1.0 and only x6!!) if I were to give it a spin.

I don't think it would support the wireless ;)

I'd love to see AROS focus on the Netbook market given that all the Netbook manufacturers so far have the same mainboard with the same components.

"Distro", possibly for want of a better word Icaros :-

Not tried it myself, as since my AMD XP2600 blew up, my house is a i86 free zone.

"OK" back then but you couldn't do much with it. I'm surprised that there are plenty of Amiga style applications like GfxPaint (I just love it, despite the fact I'm using it on windows) or milky tracker running so fast and flawless on that intel atom machine now.
I will definitively give Icaros a try. Sun, 03 May 2009 07:37:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (electr0n) Comments
