AROS Status Update

[bloodline]

And recently SVGA graphics!!!! :-D

Hints are being made at a PPC verison of AROS... :-P

You didn't see me... right! ;-)

It has always been a goal to get AROS working across many platforms, but due to the overcrowded nature of the PPC platform (already 2 AmigaOS projects!!!) and the fact that no AROS developer had any real PPC hardware (other than a few aged BlizzPPC cards), no real effort was made.

Michal Shultz (our native platform starter guy) has just got himself a real PPC computer (a PPC 604e PReP) and has started work getting AROS to boot on it.

I must say I'm excited, as it will be the third platform AROS runs on (x86 PC, and 68K Palm being the other two).

I felt this information was too good to keep just in the dev circle, so I'm leaking it...
 You never heard it from me ok?  :-D

Cool.
Someone should write up a news article about the recent development and future goals to submit.

I might just do that actually, but it would be nice to have an AROS category, MOS has one... winge winge :-D

In fact I think that I have an obligation to do so, as it is my official role to keep AROS in the public eye.
