So how is this turning out?
Anyone tried it yet?

I think it is a good way to get started on AROS hosted.

I have downloaded the DVD (r3) image a few hours ago and you don' t want to use it that way. Openbox was the window manager, the resolution was low and the gfx-driver sub-standard. But that's not the whole story:

if you unsquash the boot image you can run AEROS from any Linux distro within minutes. Just go to squashfs-root/usr/share/AEROS/boot and run AEROSBootstrap. OFC you have to do some linux-setup (tunneling?) yourself, but it looks like this is an easy road to use AROS hosted. I have never done this before and it runs so much faster and cleaner than AROS under VM.

I will definitely spend more time with AROS in the future thanks to AEROS.
