Self-hosting refers to the capability of a given OS to be complete enough to run a compiler and a toolchain complex and, again, completed enough to compile itself. If the OS is capable of that, it usually means that it's basically useable and good enough for non-fans, attracting more people to the userbase.
It is considered an extremely important milestone in the development of a pice of software as complex as an OS.

What do you mean? You can run it self hosted, just boot off the CD and off you go
Yes,"if it only worked". If they want us to test their OS and find bugs, they should make it work on new hardware and not just old hardware. At the moment, users with modern hardware with JMicron on-board and SATA devices are left out.I've never been able to boot into AROS natively using my dual core.
