Hi,
if at least 50 persons are interested i would make AEROS for SAM(PPC) as well.
I own a SAM440, so i may need help for SAM460 iso and X1000 by others.

I am surely interested, I test r3 on x64 and its great!
Only WiFi functionality is missing on Atheros and no 3D accel on Intel HD, which Linux x64 drivers should I install?
I vote for SAM460ex support in AEROS PPC, and it must be done for AresOne PPC. Since 50 soulds were not found on awafully moderated AW.net can we continue here?
(On my pers note - AW.net is not open board for criticism at all - I was shunned publicly and then perma blocked insted of insulters, see http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=38544&forum=33#725893 )
So questions to be answered, including will there be an AEROS PC

Hi Vox,
you need to install xserver-xorg-intel
this can be done by opening a linuxterminal (type "lx xterm" in AROS shell)
In linux terminal type
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-intel
->Should work, didn't test it.
BUT before doing this, you need to get rid of the nvidia stuff which is installed and has changed some components:
Se point 4:

For Wifi you need the driver:
1. find out which chipset your device uses
2. Than check how to install that driver under debian linux. (AEROS is more or less debian)

Thanks. Wi Fi is infamous Atheros

the packet may be called firmware-atheros
so "sudo apt-get install firmware-atheros" maybe all you need to do.

guys has this anything to do with ArixOS? after the intial vague announcement there hasn't been any news so just wondering.

This is about AEROS which is basically AROS Broadway (hosted not native) on linux.
Hosted is not "emulated" or virtualized.AROS hosted runs as Linux process and utilizes linux API's for network, filesystem, audio. So it doesn't matter what HW you use as long linux provides the low-level stuff.
The difference to ARIX is, afaik, that I use a whole Linux subsystem with Windowmanager(but no linux desktop, for that there is AROS/Wanderer) with all bells an whistles while ARIX is more pure AROS on a "limited" Linux subsystem.
The most noticeable differences:
ARIX = smaller footprint (less Linux files)
AEROS = bigger because full of X11/linuxsystem and Linux Applications.
ARIX = AROS binary compatible
AEROS = AROS binary compatible + fully Linux compatible
Also as far as i know ARIX can bang parts of the HW directly.
At least both share enough that work being done for one will help the other.
For example Network and Audio are both in update process.
Michal Schulz is rewriting the audio device to utilize ALSA instead obsolete OSS.
So we can keep in mind:
ARIX is not alien and will not hurt AROS. Both will benefit if someone work on AROS side of things.
