Evening folks, I've heard of AROS, but What actually is it, and what does it do?
AROS description can be read
hereAlso I'm unclear about what I need to run it, Is This a standalone OS now, or does it still run on top of Windows or Linux?
x86 is your best bet, unless you already have PPC Linux installed. Best way to experience it is to go to
download the CD ISO, burn it, and boot up a PC with it. It's pretty snappy even on my old P233 laptop. If you like what you see, burn a extra copy or two and show your friends. Since it's open source (ie free as in beer), it's a wonderful thing to share with others. Oh, and please leave feed back (good or bad) to the Devs, they like knowning others are trying out their code. :-D
