why having Amikit and lightweight distributions on 68k? It is a matter of taste, some want much installed, big functionality, others more or less only a base installation. The problem (or better opportunity) of Aros is that it covers a wide range of hardware platforms and because the "nightly builds" are only basic you need distributions for the end-user. So basically there are 2-3 distributions for X86 (Icaros, AspireOS (dedicated to Netbooks/Notebooks and Broadway-X). For ARM there is now Broadway-X (f.e. tablets), for 68k my "Aros Vision". So the split is only the result of the various uses and the flexibility. The opposite is in the PPC camp (AOS, MorphOS) where only very limited hardware is supported. I prefer the situation of Aros with competition and flexibility. Think about what situation you prefer?
