My question is if Commodoreusa were to use AROS instead of using a Linux distro for Workbench5 would this change your mind about their product/company?

I guess i'm hinting that maybe if enough people choose AROS we could maybe start an online petition to force them to change it (assuming everyone would buy it). If enough people were to sign it then they will have no choice.

I think maybe this idea may be irrelevant but it's better than simply causing trouble on facebook and being hostile in general towards C=usa.

For my 2 cents i think they are geniune but misguided. I mean, do we really need another AOS4.x themed Ubuntu?


Erm if they used AROS AND they paid something back to the AROS programmers etc then maybe, but if they are using AROS to make a profit then no sale here :)

I already have more 'commodore looking' cases bookmarked and also know how to download and install a free OS lol

iMica and aresone by clusteruk and phoenixkonsole respectively. As for business sense, I think most people are aware of the machines, although theyre more fan based projects by people who have a heavy interest in AROS than fully fledged big businesses. That said however the feedback by people who have bought them seems to be good, and they both have good reputations for after sales support. Both have also contributed a lot to AROS in general.
While I've built my own AROS machines over the years and arent really the sort of person to buy pre-assembled systems I must admit I do quite like the iMica silent machine, it looks quite nice, is tiny, and as the name suggests, is completely silent.


C= USA are trying to rope people into believing they have a true successor to the classic Amigas, hence the flashy websites for them and no hard sell/flashy OTT websites for people honestly selling AROS machines :)

Are you joking? aros has nothing to do with amiga..just another tangent we dont need. As for C= usa, no matter what the call workbench 5 its not.They just put out screwball products and ride on the names commodore and amiga to sell products.If they both went away things would be better.


Why is it not needed?!?!!? AROS is the ONLY x86 based Amiga OS we have....and seeing how pathetic price/performance is on PPC stuff it's a bloody good thing and all.
