On that note, I hope that the new AROSithlon attempt (I think there are now two versions in the works?) provides some good fortune. It would be great to have something like Amithlon that is actually considered "legal" (like I care) so everyone can have easy acess to it.
Likewise it would be great if such a kit was designed for easy installation and driver
configuration. I've got an Amithlon box sitting right here, though I put a new drive in it
and I always hate the bit about getting everything sinced right, but once it is, it purrs like
a kitten.
Also Fish has a ton of great Amithlon tips to offer that really enhance things a lot!
I liked AROS when I played with it a few times, but found the fragmentation that's happening with the different variants annoying as hell. I found the whole Icaros, Broadway, AROS Vision, AspireOS thing to be a confusing pain, but then again, I'm short on patience. I'm simply used to Linux distro's where I can clearly click on either x64 or 32 bit variants and have the OS burned on a USB key or optical media and installed within 3 minutes. If I've gotta dig around and slog through different variants, I just wash my hands of it, but maybe the download options are more clear now than they used to be. When I did get it working though, I did like it, other than some bad screen resolution modes issues I hit where one minute it'd be working fine then all of a sudden it'd try slipping back to VESA mode.
I'd hoped the SAM version of AROS might replace OS4 on my SAM, but I was never, ever able to even get it to boot to install mode no matter what I did 
I just gave up and built an Amithlon box. If I'm going to hunt for supported hardware for an OS, Amithlon gave me a better experience. I don't consider a "hosted" OS a daily driver OS, but that's just a personal nit I tend to pick.
