This morning I downloaded AROS build 0.4.8 and created a self booting native CD from the ISO. I dropped the CD in the tray and rebooted my Sony widescreen laptop. AROS came right up and there I was staring at what looked like AOS 3.1. In wide screen! All I can say is WOW! The desktop is beautiful! It even had a browser...(Mosaic) although it did not recognize my ethernet port (I didn't fiddle with it much though). There was a config screen at bootup but I must not have pressed a button or something as it was displayed for only about 10 seconds. I'm going to take this home a play with it on an older piece of hardware and read the docs. This is awesome! Does anyone know if the browser works if I manage to get TCP/IP working? Networking? All the old games will work on it too! And, it comes with a ton of software and games! And yes, this morning is the first time I messed with it... This will peak my interest for awhile. I'll comment again after I play with it more. :-D
Edit: BTW, the entire OS ran right from the CD! No install required! Although, HD install would be prefered.
