Nice big update, see things are coming along very nicely.
The screenshots look very nice indeed…
A question to the AROS crew: Has anyone signed up to help you with further development on AROS? I’m just curious if the exposure on OSNews has helped you with getting more people on the project.
Wow, this ought to make an impact. I’m glad that they have been working on the visual side of things — I know AROS is meant to basically be a work-a-like (or even clone) but the old AmigaOS 3.1 badly needed an update in looks. I’ll be loading this thing in at first opportunity. Like, now.

Well acctualy a lot of people apply for cvs access and a lot of people writes theyre hello msg on the dev ml and some with nice ideas of what theyre gonna do to help aros its just so sad that out of say 50 that do this maybe 1 acctualy does something and even less do more
! i guess most of them have ideas and hopes to help but get stuck on the way with either the biggest problem as always time to acctualy do something or motivation.
This is brilliant. I installed AROS linux binaries a while ago and played with it for a while and the system was awsome. They’re doing some fantastic work.
I did try and compile it too, but had probs on my debian systems. Also one of the thing i didnt like was that the documentation on the website didnt list all the requirements. I think pngtopnm was one of these, i think i had someone update that since then though.
I never could get AROS to build on debian. I had some m4 problems. I dont think i had the m4 files it needed, anyway i deleted that
couldnt figure it out.
Whilst im on the topic, any idea when the mawk problems will be fixed if they will be? Are they really that major?
Sounds like a lot of work has gone into this release, maybe have to download it again
– i love lbreakout !!
AROS is probably the most stable Free Non *nix Os i’ve seen in ages, only thing that cause stability lose in it, is memory grabbing by some AmigaOs Apps that have been ported, and Mem Protection would be nice, but this disscusion has been going on for a while, now, AROS is very good, and very enjoyable to use once you get past the first thought “Wheres the start button?” which is my windows based logic kicking in, but the menu seems to work better than windows menu, coz u can access it anywhere, wanderer is looking a bit dated now though, so keep up the good work, hope a TCP/IP stack appears soon 😉
