You can download the latest Icaros Desktop ISO from here - http://www.icarosdesktop.com/dl.htm

It has the Odyssey web browser included.

It still requires specific hardware but a lot of common cards and shipsets are covered these days. Best just to try it on your system and see what works.

Thanks to the Poseidon USB stack, it supports USB devices very well and is more configurable than other OSs you're probably used to (unless you're used to AmigaOS3, then it's the same).

If you develop in C for Aros it takes very little effort to port to other Amiga OSs.

Can you point out to me what is the best hardware compatible for AROS? Even if by eBay it is better. Thanks in advance.


I'm not the best person to ask about PC hardware, but from what I can remember NVidia graphics cards are the best supported for both 2D and 3D. Might not want to get the latest cards in case they're not supported.

I know these USB Wireless adapters definitely work though  http://www.ebay.com/itm/320786270882

A lot of people are happy running Aros on their Acer Aspire netbooks too, since all that hardware is supported.
