AROS needs one native version in one website and downloaded via one easy location/link.

LESS IS MORE!


No problem to me. Just give me € 5,000,000 and I promise I'll never do a Icaros Desktop version again! (I may help other distributors, though, between a trip around the world, a trial of a new sport-machine, a cup of Champagne, and the others) :D

Jokes apart, fragmentation is the other face of freedom. At least on AROS we have a commond ground - standardized by nightlies, mostly for system files - which makes writing software for AROS coherent and fully compatible between nighlties and distributions. X86 software even works both in native and hosted flavours. So the choice is up to the user: with 3 different x86 native distros, they will have the freedom to choose between each of them, according to their different feelings and area of interest.

Icaros Desktop tries to be faithful to the AmigaOS experience, while adding many features people are already accustomed to with other mainstream operating systems. Just imagine it as a "bridge" between Amiga and Win/Linux habits. That's why we ask users to "View -> All files" while offering remote desktop and ftp sharing facilities at the same time.
