AROS is looking better and better.

I will need to give Broadway 0.0.4 a try even if the default dark theme made me give up on it the last time I tried it I am sure I can change it to a less dark one that I can read easier.

Thanks again for all the hard work that goes into both developing AROS and developing a distribution to make installing and using it easier.

how cool ist that, forget linux - here comes aros with huge steps!!!

It would be cool to have 64bit and arm distributions too. Is anyone porting the videoflyer/toaster software to aros (its open source)?

Hi,

fist sorry for the missing images... http://www.aresone.de is down because there was to much traffic... this does not harm http://www.aros-broadway.de..

The problem is i typed too often the wrong password : ) And now i would need to call a hotline for 1.24€ / minute ....

I will move to another hosting service asap.

I am always testing Aros 64 and if business(if i am allowed to call it as business :roflmao:)  would be better and it would be a bit easier and Hollywood would have been ported already.
So i could only offer a small Distro which includes all available binaries (not much). No quickstarter and no Amistart. And not enough drivers.

ABI v1 is the key.. Since this "new" Aros will need everything to be recompiled we could use this situation to jump to 64bit.
If someone followed the talk in the developerlist: Memory Protection can be done...

Scroll down to the bigger grey box....

ARM port is essential... It could mean that we get a Amiganoid syste for 99€ : ) But again: Just having ARM AROS is not enough without apps.

The only possible alternative HW to have full Broadway is, believe it or not:
68k

Broadway 0.0.4 aka Murphy's law is ready

...but what is it? I'm sorry but I know nothing about this, so a short description would be nice!

An AROS Distribution.

Here is a bad translation : ) :

I can't stand the lay out of the desk top. Yeeesshhhh!!!!

Regardless, I do not fail to realise the hard work you guy(s) have put into this! And for that I must commend you! Also it is great to see that Janus is all set and ready to roar!!!!

Hi,

Here is my review of the new Broadway.

I installed it on a Toshiba Satellite laptop which has 512 mb of memory, 1.1ghz cpu and a 16 gig CF drive.

Time for load up is less than 30 seconds, but at least 10 of that is the Toshiba splash screen.
At first look, when loaded it looks really cool, how does it work?

Well on this system I first tried Doom, Doom booted up really fast, but upon playing there was no sound (probably because the Toshiba satellite needed special sound drivers (but, I didn't have this problem with Ubuntu 10.10).

Now lets get on to Networking, and cruising the Net, once again utter failure. ( I don't see why all Amiga programmers have to stick with the old Amiga protocol, AFTER ALL MOST COMPUTER SYSTEMS HAVE PROGRESSED WHERE SETTING UP A NETWORK IS JUST ABOUT AUTOMATIC) once again, the sound, networking REALLY SUCK AND ROT. I have tried to adjust this for two days now this weekend, no joy.

Ok, if you can play your games with no sound and really don't like the internet on some systems, then this isn't for you.

If you want to buy a system that has the hardware specified by the makers of this program, and don't mind spending money on ancient stuff so you can get this OS running on a rig, then be my guest.
C+ for effort.
but
Need to upgrade your parts list and make it see and notice new hardware used in modern day systems (after all this is 2011, not 1993).

Looks really cool on my laptop (oldest system I have in the house), but failed to have an internet connection on all 3 of my modern day computers and one old computer.  

This still needs a ton of development.  

The AROS Broadway is a total waste of a good CD, but an improvement over the last AROS I tried, at least it lit up the screen and gave me something nice to look at.

@Smerf
So why not just make sure you have supported hardware?

Hi,

To answer your question? That would probably be the easiest solution, but with all the computers I have (about 3 laptops, 3 really modern up to date computers, 3 slightly out of date computers, and one Dell, of which I have no problem running Linux on. You would think that the makers of this OS would at least support some of the more modern day boards and systems. Maybe they are and I am just doing something wrong, I dunno, anyone else out there try this on their system.

I tried it on a Q6600, 4 gig ram, ATI Radeon 5570, XFX motherboard, it ran but could not use the internet, but had sound.

I also tried it on a AMD 1090T with MSI with 4 gig ram, ran but no internet, but I had sound.

The Dell as always couldn't do nothing.

My old AMD 3700+ with an ASUS board, and a Sapphire 3850, no picture.

Why don't the authors of this software actually put up what they are using?
Maybe I will have to go up in the attic and get some of my really ancient stuff out.

I tried the older version of Broadway and Icaros Desktop on an old Dell GX280.  The onboard audio (AC97 driver) worked fine.  For the the NIC, I found an old 3Com card.  For video, I got a cheap NVidia GS8400.  It works great, including scrollable screens.  Other specs include 3.2 GHz HyperThreading CPU, 2 GB RAM, and an 80 GB drive with 2 equal partitions.  Browsing on OWB works well.  Playing audio and videos on MPlayer is great.  Also, installed and ran Janus-UAE with AmigaForever's standard Workbench 3.1.  Milky Tracker and most other programs I tried worked.  I was even able to Remote Desktop into my Windows 7 PC.  It really has come along way in terms of stability and useability.  I can't wait to try out the new version soon.

I'd love to give it a go, but I can't seem to download it...

I get part-way through the download, then it quits... Tried 3 times now.
