AROS has seen a lot of under-the-hood work lately. Firstly, Joe Fenton has been able to run AROS PPC on his iMac using Fedora Core 4. Joe and Markuss Weiss are working hard on them, in order to give us a PPC version of AROS. Secondly, Bernd Roesch has compiled an AmigaOS-68k hosted version of AROS called AfA (AROS for AmigaOS): "AfA OS is a way to use AROS source without changes and compile them on every AmigaOS based operating system. It can run and be build hosted on every AmigaOS compatible system and provides a compatible API to all systems."

I'm honestly curious: what's the point of running Aros on actual Amiga's? Development? Because I thought the point of Aros was to have Amiga running on any kind of hardware. Running AROS to get Amiga compatible on hardware that's already Amiga compatible seems a bit..redundant.

I would like a little more info on AfA.
Is it basically the "hosted" version of AROS running under AmigaOS? What about replacement, of, for example, libraries with their AROS equivalents?
Mostly I'm interested in a 68K version of AROS because it would allow the possibility of booting a 68K compatability layer (E-UAE) for AROS x86, in 100% OSS.
