Indeed, I too believe AROS is too important to be open source... Freeware and open to contribution, but not redistributable like Linux.

S'Just how I see it... *shrug*

A4000D, A3640 OC-36.3MHz, custom tower, Mediator A4000D. Diamond Banshee 16M, Indivision AGA 4000, GVP HC+8.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

@ Bloodline:

Funny, I have the opposite problem with Linux... I can never find a binary for decent programs... End up having to download 5000 libraries to get one program to compile.

@ Coders:

If you're going to use an outside library to write your program, INCLUDE IT IN YOUR DISTRIBUTION! Don't make people search for it.

Well, my point really is this... I only want to see one distribution of AROS... As in I want to see AROS, not RedHat AROS or SUSE AROS or some crap like that.

Versions for different CPUs not withstanding, of course  :-D

If somehow someone could come up with a 1GHz+ 68060, I'd go with that over anything else!
