We NEED AmigaOS to go open source

[billt]

What the Amiga community needs is for the Amiga OS to go open source like Linux.  I believe that there are enough people who like the OS enough that they would start to redevelop and fix it to use on modern hardware.  Just MHO.

Yep. We all quit using MOS and OS4 and switched to AROS instead, didn't we...

Well, a compelling argument is that AROS isn't 150 dollars per bloody machine you want to put it on.

Indeed, I suppose that's a big part of why we've all already bailed on the others and switched to AROS isntead...

Serious question though, would AROS run on Sun's VirtualBox virtual machine?

Yes

I might try to find some time to have a look then. I finally got Linux running well in Vbox last night. No more need for dual-booting!
