It looks like AROS has not been updated in ages. I'd love to try it again.


Actually AROS is updated every day and is moving along nicely in recent times.
The website layout is a bit confusing though, the snapshots (which arent really updated anymore) are at the top of the downloads page, which at a glance makes it look like aros itself has stalled. If you scroll down beyond that you'll see the nightly builds. Additionally the main page status updates arent updated often.
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Drivers, because we need sound drivers for Sam460, drivers for the new graphic cards, and drivers for printers, and the OpenGL in Amiga OS4, after to work in new programs and games is more easy.


What?? sam460 havent sound drivers?

AmigaOS X86 with memory protection and multi-user support.  Right, that's january done....

Hi,

New year is approaching very fast, as time for new resolutions.
What would you like for you and for Amiga in this new year coming up ?
Me, as a newbie, I expect to learn more and more about my new favorite system. I begin  to code on this platform and wonder about what would be the perfert soft expected by the community. What would be the next killer app ? A driver, a game, an application ?
For hardware, sorry to say, but I don't expect nothing but a return of the good old Amiga workstation with same hardware as far as possible.
I'm not too tempted by "modern" options, I'm not fond of rich interface and alike hogging precious resources.I prefer quality, simplicity and performance over appearance.
And what about you ?

What we\'re witnessing is the sad, lonely crowing of that last, doomed cock.

And who exactly is going to implement AmigaOs on IA32/64? That's what I thought :p

Rich interfaces can be feature rich, and don't need eye candy (can be optional). Just a thought ;)

MorphOS 3.0 - that's what I'm aiming and waiting for as the best thing can happen in Amiga community in 2012.

...and, moreover, AROS nightly builds are DEFINITELY NOT what users want. They are good for developers and for anyone that want to customize everything from scratch. Anyone that wishes to install a usable system on their computer should look for a distribution instead.

That is sadly the case, especially when you think about what AGA+030 could do here. Perhaps it's time to write something...
