Curious about AROS

[Starrfoxx]

I've been reading more and more on AROS, and it has my interest.  Is there a way to test out AROS on a virtual hard drive with VMware?

What can you do with the current version of AROS?  Any cool games or applications?  And how would this compare to Linux/Ubuntu?  I'm loving Ubuntu and I find it quite useful, although it's not a complete replacement for my Windows XP partition (which I use mainly for games).

And how would you compare AROS with WinUAE/UAE?

I was checking the AROS archives, and there isn't much there.  I did see an image file for VMware, though, so that might make it easy to setup in a virtual environment.

My main system is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ 2.6GHz.  It runs Windows 95 and 98 fairly decently on Virtual PC.  Heck it even runs XP decently too.  (Tried Vista; not impressed.)

I'm guessing that AROS will run just fine for me under VMware.
