I dont know, maybe some AROS guy can pitch AROS in 5 minutes to get us hyped up why this is da b0mb?
Because trying to make people understand why a community-driven open source AmigaOS clone is "da b0mb" is completely useless, if people don't undertstand this by themselves. We've reached the point to have a usable operating system for free in our spare time, and time is never enough. So maybe we have better using it to improve AROS, than repeating every time the same things in forums. Sorry, pal.
Anyway, there's no motivation why AROS shouldn't be ported to Pegasos and Efika too, it would take a willing developer only, doing what Michal did on the SAM (and one thing is porting a x86 OS on PPC hardware, another thing is porting a PPC OS on another PPC platform). This would give us all a
common free and open plarform to use and develop on. Just ask Linux enthusiasts it they would buy a UNIX OS licence to run the same OS on their PCs.
But it's practically pointless, if most of the community is always waiting for Xmas, struggling in a stupid red-blue war, eternally waiting for AInc to do something, or the MOS team to lower MorphOS prices. AROS is here and it's costantly improving, it runs on x86 and SAM today and for free. It's time for the community to decide if it prefer going on to rely on someone else, or turning to action and take control of the platform by itself.
I was bored of waiting long ago.
