have you guys run aros lately. if not you might want to. download the iso burn it and try it out. nothing i have seen anywhere else has had this much promise.
lou-dias i do agree that linux has some problems. the main problem it has is what it was meant to be- a unix clone. unix was never meant to be consumer os. it was designed what 35 years ago for mainframes etc.
thats were amigaos stepped in and should have made a stand. because it was a unixlike os designed from the start to be a consumer os. simple, efficient, modern, and especially designed for multimedia.
that is also why aros is so important. aros is now where linux was 10 years ago. mainstream computer users have bypassed linux because it is to complex to install, run, and maintain. and the simplicity of those things and efficiency are amigaos' and aros' greatest streangths.
BTW aros should be able to be ported to GC with a little effort.
also think about something. if os4 were to be released today, like right now, who would buy it? amiga diehards maybe with the money to do so. most computer users wont. aros is free! and it doenst even need to be intalled to try out, just burn a livecd. if aros 1.0 were to be released right now most amigans would at least give it a try andf i personally know quite a few non amiga fans that would.
