AROS gets it's first locked thread

[bloodline]

I'm not sure if this any kind of milestone, but It's kinda cool in a weid way.


@ Eugena:

I understand why you took down the AROS option, I would ask other to respect the decision, but it still makes me very sad :-( (was there not another course of action, other than removing the AROS option?)

Still @ Eugena: ;-)
I must say I'm pleased to see that Mr Bouma has lost his privilages.

Howdy Bloodline,

I`ve tried downloading AROS recently but couldn`t unarchive it.  How do I do it?  I`m quite interested in seeing how it looks/works.  :-)

Sounds to me like you downloaded using Windoze...

ok, You need a Bzip2 decompressor in order to extract the archive. That will extract a "tar" file, which can be opend using winzip... I'll have to update my website as soon as I get some time, since I use Zip on my site to make it easier for Windoze users :-)


Check out the screenshots on the Main site ;-)

How?What?Why?

How: Because he abused them.
What: His moderator status on OSnews.com
Why: Only Mr Bouma himself can answer that...

Thanks Bloodline. Yes I did download on WinXP.  I will try to find a bzip2 archiver.  AROS certainly looks impressive.

If you have any problems finding a Bzip2 decompressor for Windows just send me an Email (which can be found on my AROS site http://www.ahsodit.com/aros/) I will send you one when I get home.

Matter resolved :-)

What if the cheater was an enemy of AROS?

That was the first thought in my paranoid little brain.

but I honestly can't see why AROS couldn't have attracted a "surge" of interest after we had posted news about the poll on the site. Though I can see that the figures seem doubious.
