New 68k based free distribution

[OlafS3]

Hello,

how some of you already know i am working on a distribution that is combining Aros 68k and "68k" to something new. The vision behind it is to merge 68k and Aros to something new that is free and can be used on both real hardware and emulation.

First short descriptions and screenshots are here:

It is in testing/optimization phase, more will follow.

Who is the pretty girl on the laptop?   :razz:

Do you want her telephone number? :-)

Free (no copyrighted components)

Huh? You must be confused somehow, or are you really going to remove all APL code?

[OlafS3]

copyrighted in the sense needing 3.1. libs/components/kickstart roms that have anything to do with Amiga Inc, Commodore etc.

All material is copyrighted unless if placed in public domain (or unless if certain amount of time has passed since the death of the author). I think you should fix that statement.

You probably meant to say that it doesn't require any proprietary 3rd party components.

[OlafS3]

Yes then I was not exact in that point. It includes copyrighted components/software but with the permission to distribute and use it freely.

So can i have her number or not?

[OlafS3]

I can only give you the email of the artist that created it. Perhaps he has the number of his model :-)

So can I actually install Aros68k on my A1200?

[OlafS3]

I am right now replacing the icons with glowicons then it could be run on a A1200. Jason (the maintainer of Aros 68k) and some other want to do it. At the moment I run and test it in WinUAE.
