Will someone on this forum please ban this PC spamming/Free Ad pc vendor.  I come to this forum to read about topics Amiga. ARES its equipment its software and everything about it, is the same as my mate down the road who puts PCs together with parts and sells them at the local market. Its not Amiga, Has nothing to do with the Amiga and is really starting to piss me off, that this bloke is doing nothing different from from the other piss artists CUSA. Please end this.

Shaz

Edit: Oh and a "portion" how much 1% 20% 50%, Like the Clothing charity down the road, 0.01% perhaps ?

If you dont like it Boudicca, Don't read it.  if you fail to see how this is different to CUSA et al, then you are very misinformed.

.......And others quotes.

* I didn't know it was the dude doing AROS however, isn't AROS Open Source ? I maybe misinformed but please enlighten me why I should by a AROS ARES PC ? How is that any different from me picking up el cheap pc mobo case and a few bits and putting AROS on it ?

Why is there this obsession with getting it to work with one vendors kit rather than just getting it to work on generic hardware. ARES lets have the full BOM List and details install docs if its all for the community.

Oh and sorry, Pret a Porter, how silly of me. (Really can't believe the mark up on a 199 euro machine) all I will say is I hope they see you coming. (Obviously not!)

Oh sorry its all for the community, yep that Charity blokes at the door again saying the bag of clothes are for those poor orphans in India. (Yep i'm a cynic sad cow) but in the current climate its for your pocket. Narks me that anyone would claim otherwise.

[Boudicca]

I'll come clean.....I really hate......buy me and we give something to someone needy. F*ck that...if I think its needy. I will do that myself without a middleman thanks!.

Charity begins at home.

Actually can some kind soul point me to the AROS Broadway, Source Tree and Toolchains pls, aswell as the mplayer based AMC source tree. ? A zip of the sources and toolchains for AROS "Broadway" that are distro'ed, on these PCs will do ?

I can't seem to find on them on the ARES Site nor any links to them ?

[Boudicca]

AMC is not open source. http://www.ares-shop.de

Broadway is based on the AROS nightlies, while it is a mix of many builds.
Because sometime some parts get broken, so sometimes it is better to stick on an older file.

Broadway is the same + preinstalled apps (not all of them are opensource).

The difference to a nightly is that Broadway is preconfigured to run on AresOne. So sound and ethernet works out of the box, while on an other machines you will need to chose another device driver.

But don't worry. People like you piss me off too. That's the reason why next Broadway will be last Broadway release. For you it is money, for me it is time.

I think 2 distributions are really enough.

Sorry you feel this a personal dig, It isn't but it is open source and you need to address the terms of the licence. So you need to ensure the the build can be creatable include tool chains (Under the terms) including the binaries. (If they are not open sourced, can you details of those vendors, so we can remove the not open source from the distro.)

I know from the sounds of things your sincerely want to aid the community. I would be happy to donate towards a Distro that isn't hiding under the table and where the sources, tools and everything is in the open and can be recreated with sources and that I can install on my PC not one sourced elsewhere.

I believe that AROS should be a full distro with as much of the community together as possible but it needs to survive past a single vendor, it needs to be ours not yours. Sorry thats how I feel about it.

Now I spent yesterday evening with tooth ache running round in circles on the aros broadway aros home the what someones shop and didnt see a downloads for the distro page. Today, I found it straight away now, other than me being thick, which is probably the case. This has so many fronts, that it is really confusing the f*ck out of me. I take it back that there's a distro iso here. So will spin that and see how that goes. Cheers.

I think it was answered in the last post by trekiej at the number of links............Good grief is very apt. Talk about lost/found, burying it in peat for 3 years...Douglas would be proud. All thats finally needed on the Aros Broadway downloads page is a popup saying "Beware of the Leopard!"

Fair do's I spend my life doing that......what keeps me sane. No more Distro's, that is a sad thing. I was hoping to see a full Distro for AROS at some stage. That Im happy to support.

Money (not for commodity hardware, no) Money for this distro ie donations, count me in. Now I've been pointed at the right page (even on your own links), for me this is key.

Time is valuable I appreciate.
