What does this cost? At the crossroads. Only room for one.

I have Virtual box on my laptop. I intend to use it for OSX lion if i can't get my hackintosh to work out. But i disagree that there is no difference between a dedicated AROS machine and using AROS on Virtual box. I will never shake the feeling that i will always be using Windows7 while using something else. Does that make sense?

It makes perfect sense, because you are using Win7 while using something else, and you know that perfectly well. Saying that there's no difference at all is lying to oneself.

I might second the above arguments of getting another hard drive instead of another machine.
  I've always had problems setting up dual/multi booting. If the machine crashes and you don't have a backup it is a lot worse than a single install.
  However with all the cheap external drives you can get nowadays you can set the external drive up as a primary with an OS on it.
 Then change the bios to let you boot from USB or eSata. Then select to boot form the external drive at the start up.

I installed AROS once on some older hardware without any problems, I haven't bothered to try again, but will soon. If it can do everything Linux can, then it will work nice for a basic system.

My thoughts exactly. I'm glad fishyfiz isn't here or things might get ugly  :nervous:
