I agree, I like where AROS is going, but MorphOS is closer to the real amiga experience than AROS at the moment.   I love that AROS runs on intel.. I would like to see a just in time emulator which encapsulates each classic app, making it appear to run native.

I like MorphOS but I have all laptops... I do have a mac mini G4 but I hate having to set up a monitor, keyboard, speakers, etc.  I prefer laptops for just about everything.  I am thinking about picking up a macbook G4 to see if I can get morphos running on it...

I just had a look at the latest AROS and I am impressed.  I like the features added to the 68k emulator, allowing ADFs to be run directly and 68k apps to be run also.

Pretty neat! This version booted up from CD on my laptop with no issues.  Network appeared to be recognized but I haven't been able to test that yet.
