Not flaming here, just curious...

What can AROS on the Pegasos provide that the A-Box can't?  I can see how you can argue that AROS on the AmigaOne is maybe better than AmigaOS4, because you can do things the "old-fashioned way" and have PPC-native code (I'm not saying that the new interface-based approach is worse, I'm saying that one could argue that it is).  But on the Pegasos the line is a lot blurrier, because the A-Box (at least to me, I could be wrong) seems to be very similar to AROS in concept (I know, in reality it's built on top of Quark, but as far as the A-Box programmer is concerned, that's supposed to be pretty much invisible).

I agree - I suspect that if anyone took the trouble to look at the archives over the past couple years, he'll discover that it's about 10-15 people making 90% of the bad noise.  I suspect these troublemakers are a lot more concerned about pushing people's buttons than pushing the platforms they advocate.  The real problems start when these people start provoking normally reasonable people, then the whole thing starts getting really ugly.
