Arix

[ferrellsl]

All of this thread is just speculation till we see it working. I think phoenixconsole did amazing work with AEROS... Running linux, windows amiga 68k AND amiga ng applications all pretty integrated.

Perhaps this will be just as capable. We should wait and see before we all pass judgement.

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.

No its not linux hosted AROS.
I personally was disinterested until I noticed who was working on it.
Between them theyve written the aros kernel, ported and enhanced it for x86-64, ppc, arm, bakported enhancements to x86, ported aros to the sam boards, written intel, ati, nvidia, vesa drivers, written aros 3d subsystem and drivers, and a shedload of other stuff that typing on a phone makes me lose enthusiasm for typing.
This is no fly-by-night/marketting operation, but real work done by developers who have helped shape aros into the usable system it is today.

As already mentioned the text on the website is nothing more than placeholder text. Given that the initial releases are soon Id expect it'll be replaced soon with something more accurate.

As a longtime AROS user and software dev. Im personally pretty excited about the potential ARIX brings for AROS, although Im also expecting it to invoke quite some misunderstanding and/or misinformation.

That's about as ridiculous as OS4 being "merged" with Linux, OSX or Windows.  This is Linux hosting AROS, nothing more, nothing less....except that they want you to pay money for it.

If that were true (and it isn't) what would be wrong with the AROS-Team selling their own work?

I'm impressed by your knowledge of this project, especially given how little information had been given.

You maybe correct in your assertions, but until they are confirmed, you would do well to state that everything you have said is entirely your speculation.

@ Terminills

good to see you back on the forums :-)

I'll gladly buy Arix OS if it will work better than AspireOS on my netbook as I really love having an Amiga netbook on the go.  I'm really enjoying AspireOS which is running natively on my netbook so I'm curious to see how ArixOS can make my Amiga netbook experience even better.

btw, any chance we can get an update on gutenprint soon ?

Filler text would be something like Lorem ipsum. Just point that out to Dammy next time so he doesn't get carried away and spouts half truths on a site.

I reserve judgment on this project until I can get my hand on it.

Well this, according to my counter, was supposed to have been launched over 30 minutes ago now.

I have no idea why people even pay for Windows at all when it is so easy to have it without spending a penny ever

They have enough money, do the digital Robin Hood and replace 'the poor' with 'me' haha

@ferrellsl
some people who you are here calling clowns are still active aros core developers. why so aggressive? you can still have your aros hosted for free, whats your problem if someone proposes commercial fork? perhaps it will have some benefits. perhaps not. im still in favour of open source and have not a partiucular interest in it myself, without rnning around to spread hate in advance.

The website is now live, but I STILL have no idea what Arix is.  The website is virtually empty.  I waited a month for nothing.

I feel duped.

I have no idea why the site is still empty but I do know what ARIX is (I've used it for a few months) and it really is fantastic.  It's not what ferrels thinks it is, not even close either.

I am in no way defending the ARIX project, but to be fair to them, you have not been promised anything... You can't feel "duped", yet
