What I mean is there is AROS this and AROS that and it's not obvious what is the newest, most complete version. What do you tell a nostalgic friend to get?

Icaros desktop
Aros Broadway
included install with ARESone computers.
Aros homepage distribution a la 2010 found via google?

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

It's confusing as all this Linux Mint/Ubuntu/[other distro] shamblesmaking people look away.

LESS IS MORE!

(native 32bit x86 version of AROS required)


The included install with AresOne computers IS registered Broadway.  The nightly builds on the Aros homepage are experimental only and have no testing involved until after they are built.

Icaros is the most complete distro but has duplicate functionality in some places.  Also, it comes mostly on DVD-ROM with only a cut-down version on CD-ROM.

Broadway is a more compact distro that fits on CD-ROM by cutting out some of the extra stuff such as some large ported games.

I personally use Icaros because it comes with the development environment pre-installed on the DVD version.

Need to install it to PC not run it from a DVD, presume Icaros can do this?


Yes.  There's an install script on the LiveDVD and CD-ROMs of Icaros.
