Reply once if you've tried AROS

Tried, loved it, want it. It's getting to the point that I'm passing out floppies to people who are interested in alternative OSs.   And of course, formed TeamAROS to help out the devs with financial incentives.

TCP/IP stack is being worked on (huge project).  UAE was ported awhile ago.  An updated UAE needs to be done.

AROS could always use some more devs.

ried an iso about 2 or 3 months ago... it needs apps badly, I'd love to see it mature and see software available for it that really takes advantage of my beast of a PC (two of which I could build for the price of an AmigaOne, but that's another thread...

Did you also download the contrib ISO for more apps?

Obviously this is not really something that could work now, as the IDE.device is really dodgy and the GFX drivers still have issues with some gfx cards, we have no sound card drivers... and without TCP/IP I can't run a "live update" service, which would be vital for beginers.

Speaking of update service, any thoughts on how to do the packaging?

A Cheap CD-R in brown paper bag... with an elastic band holing it shut.

Heh, not quiet what I ment by packaging.  I ment software packaging so that updates can be performed online.

How's AROS' API documentation coming along? Or rather what Amiga literature should I be looking for? Bearing in mind I have ZERO Amiga programming experience but do have solid C/C++ knowledge.

AROS always needs more Devs like you. =)  You can Start here and you may want to join the
Dev's ML.

Or hit irc.freenode.org in #aros and chat with the Devs as they can give you quick replies to your questions.
