I got this apparently, wrong idea, from the AROS website faq I read months ago.
I looked again and it is under the FAQ heading:
Why are you using Linux and X11?
Apparently it is NOT obvious to all.
To me this implied they were using Linux as a base and as such could have initiated Linux software.
Can you understand why I might think that?
Although I was pleased to read there is a native version of AROS too.
Ok...
You can run AROS on top of Linux, Think of this the same as running UAE on Linux (or any Emulator)... except without the need for any CPU/Hardware emulation. This is great for the devs as they can test something if it crashes, but reopen AROS again :-)
The "Main" version of AROS is the Native one, where AROS actually runs the machine itself. This is what you find on the AROS Live CD, and the one most users prefer. since playing with Linux is less than fun.
I don't think Openamiga is that old... maybe a year at most. Anyway, it lists the common aspects of the three Amigoid systems. Any developer can follow those guidlines for common OS components.
