Perhaps you should listen to constructive criticism.

I have been interested in AROS for years and downloaded a few of the distros, but always ignored this as I believed it to be a virtual machine.

The internet is a big place and we all only have limited time.  It is therefore important to set aside arrogance and listen and perhaps name things accordingly.

Just how many other people have ignored this due to a misconception?

Anyway, I have read your site and it says you need a 12x cdrom, but it also says it is a DVD iso?  Which is it?

I should also say that your efforts are miraculous and I thank you for your continued effort.  Just don't take things personally.

Oh well.  At least he did change the requirements to "fast DVD dive" after my comment.

Shame he couldn't acknowledge it here.

Think I'll give this distro a miss.

@ferrellsl

You better not be referring to me.  I don't post much, but you'll struggle to find anything remotely trollish in any of my postings.

I saw someone react in an oversenstive manner to what I saw was constructive critiscism.  Perhaps it could have been worded better, but I understood his point.

Paolone may be happy with his thousands of downloads and I have thanked him for his work, but for him simply to dismiss any criticism could mean that his distro is not maximising it's potential.

For example I told loads of people about AROS Max when it was doing the rounds and handed out CDs to people to try.  I have not done this with this distro as I was unaware it was a live distro.  That may have been my bad, but the name hasn't help in this case.

For you to come out and say people are trolling is totally misconstruing the situation and is trollish in itself.

It is up to paolone to decide what to do and I respect that.  He is well capable of defending himself as he has demonstrated here, so how about just crawling back under your stone?

I only mentioned the CD/DVD thing because of Paolone's one line answer.  I pointed out I read his website and it didn't clarify everything.
