It should, in theory. My understanding is, and it may be faulty, is that it is AROS with the linux kernel at it's core. That should, at least, give them a wider range of drivers.

The tricky part for them is to make it commercially viable. If they can turn it into a profit, then they will have more time to devote to it and more time to make it better. Eventually, if it's successful enough, they can take it in the direction it should go.



Correct on both parts.   It's a wip and shall take time for everything to fall in to place the way it should.

I'm not speculating about anything.  I'm referring to the smoke and mirrors marketing spin that came directly off their web site.  But they've taken it down now presumably because their smoke wasn't dense enough to obscure all the bullsh@t they're throwing around.


guess I should reply to this... as you're commenting on placeholder text.  It was exactly that.   It was text Dammy wrote up for while the layout was being done.

You guys have certainly made a name for yourselves in my book.  I'll be sure not to buy anything you or Dammy are associated with in the future.  To say Dammy's write-up is misleading would be kind.


Well since the page isn't even live. ;D

I think from a application view AROS and ARIX will be the same,



That is correct.

So how does ARIX differ from AEROS?


Arix only uses the kernel and a few libs vs a whole distro.   While aeros is a great idea and I personally enjoy it.  The hope was to merely use Linux for drivers in the kernel nothing more.

I for one can't wait to see this. Every day use amiga machine here we come!

Using the linux drivers is brilliant. Should run on ANY pc...


In time it certainly should.   While prepping the linux kernel I learned one thing.    Many linux video drivers are buggy. :)

It is a great concept. I hope that there will be a nightly that can be used by you and others to create "Arix" versions of your distributions. It would give the platform a big push forward.


There will be.

So on ARIX, what filesystems can you use?

FFS, SFS, NTFS , FAT Currently

  Does it have a terminal, a CLI or both?  

Cli
Quote

Is the whole of the Unix directory structure there (/usr, /home, /etc, /var and the rest plus the Amiga directory structure?


The only place that has the Unix directory structure is the initial Ramdisk.  From the user perspective only the Amiga directory structure is available.

 Is Xwindows available to run unix apps?   Is an emulator to run Android apps available?


No and No.

Drivers, and for that fact that presuming AROS crashes (no memory protection, still in alpha/beta stages technically), you shouldn't have to do a full system restart in order to get back to your desktop. At least those are two advantages I see.


As a matter of fact it's an instant restart in the case of the Aros side crashing.

I think it sounds better than what happened with apple moving from system10(or whatever number) to OSX, from legacy lover perspective.

It will be silly if this AROS derivate accelerates from far behind and is the first to do SMP+64bit. (while maintaining a lot of AOS look & feel)

One thing... will ARIX be able to handle memory protection?

Get it working correctly first then add features.  So for now it's limited to the same type of memory protection Aros has. :)

Here's some noise from boot.
