Trying aros on my laptop...

[Kesa]

You read my mind. I was going to try this in the next few weeks once my uni is finished and have time to mess around with it.

I have an acer aspire laptop.

I also plan to buy an external harddrive maybe next week so i can try it (disk partioning?)

Thanks Cammy. I think mine is the aspire 5315 or something like that. It's just a cheapo i got from JBHI.

My main concern is being able to continue running windows 7. I'm really comfortable using it and like it a lot. I also need it for uni work for programs like word and excel so using AROS fulltime isn't an option.

What kind of time frame are we talking about before we can expect AROS to be fully functional enough to replace windows, etc?

I saw the youtube video showing screen dragging and was really impressed by it. Not because of the dragging but because of how the desktop looked. It looks better than it did before when i looked. It looked very cartoonish so i'm glad that's changed. For the first time i am now considering switching to AROS :-)

I will definitely use Broadway. I'm always watching dvds on my laptop.
