Who's donated to AROS?...

"and its a waste of money IMO since the work is going to get done wether the money is sent or not, is it not?? "

Not necessarily no, that being the point of the bounty projects.

Also, if people send money, the team are MUCH more likely to feel glowy and spend more time on it, meaning that it arrives much sooner and in much better shape (from the perspective of those paying) than it otherwise would.  You pay me and you get to say "I'd like that feature" with a lot more conviction.

Linux was a hobby now it makes him a packet as a consultant.  Fair play.

It started as an RFC on a forum about a possibly UNIX like OS for the 386 processor "nothing big, just a simple CLI kernel" I think was the phrase.

Thanks Kubyx & Greenboy :¬)

You can bet that many of my other projects won't be free, however, I am firmly in the "Open Source" camp.  So I will likely release the code for those to interested parties.  Obviously anything I write which goes into AROS itself is going to be totally open, as WELL as free if used within the licence terms :¬)
