AEROS - AROS/Linux distro status update

[Mrs Beanbag]

This is awesome.  Now with the right hardware for it to run on -
Natami + ARM board plus new build Amiga style case...

Any chance of some kind of limited functionality "instant on" a-la ASUS Express Gate?

@Mrs Beanbag
"Instant on" equals to my AROSbios. This is based on Corebios and Floppy-Version of native AROS..quite old from late 2009/early 2010 and works only with AresOne 2009 and larger replacement EEPROM.

I am now working on a "Supervizor" which is Corebios + a bit payload in form of a GUI where you can choose the OS to boot or for example a PPC emulator. So you will have a Instant-on launcher for native stuff and or Emulated stuff. The Payload is smaller this time because most stuff will be loaded from HD. But it is still "instantly".

Coooooool.  All I'd really like to see from an Instant On OS is the ability to run a media player, so I don't have to wait for a full OS to load just to play a DVD or a CD.  I mentioned this elsewhere and someone said something about licensing/copy protection issues.
