Sounds like Aeros is Linux entirely minus the desktop environment, with AROS taking its place, so I'm guessing "no." If you want both, it's easy to run AROS hosted on Linux.

If it doesn't have X, how far does the claim in the other thread of being able to run Linux software go? Is it command-line/curses only, or have they rigged up a compatibility layer between X and whatever AROS calls their Intuition replacement? (That sounds like a job and a half.)
