Maybe write Amiga "themes" for Linux OSes ?

AROS, is due to hit prime time in 2010 IMO.  Thats too long to wait.  :devildance:

1) Offcourse OS4 will hit mainstream computers (X86_64 machines as we speak) soon (2025).

2) And it's wonderful to pay for something lacking severly in relative (to mainstream OSs) functionality..

3) ..while having problems (obstacles) installing it to more than one machine at a time.

AROS is not Amiga, so it is not the Amiga future.

And you're more like a clown!

No, think only AmigaOS 4 with PPC is amiga.  :-D

Half correct, my "present" is XP, sad but true.

Snoopium, SnoopDOS or Scout, depending on the Amiga system that you are using, they tell you of everything running into it... (Malicious software could be easily spotted and deleted).

These "system/security monitors" just hack the OS structures/exception vector table at runtime. These require the OS to either not implement "memory protection" (forget about *full* (real) MP), or if it implements that then it would additionally need to implement multi-user access rights to system resources, which *could* grant higher privileged tasks open access to the whole RAM (among other things). Without these functionalities all tasks are kings of the OS, and can therefore cause any infection/damage as they desire, including manipulating (hacking) these system monitors to make them *believe*.  :-D
