I tried AROS ... it doesn't work
« on: January 07, 2007, 11:32:54 AM »
I burnt the latest release and loaded it.. mouse is not recognized or acts strange (can't point anything, it just jumps around the screen). I'm talking pc version.

USB is currently in developement.  Yes, it's a PITA to install and there is bounty that has been setup to solve the issues.  I'm not happy about AROS installer issues either.  :-(

Are you joking ? Where is Mozilla for OS4 or MorphOS ?
To learn more about AROS, read this:

Check the archives for apps an such.  Play  MP3, go create stuff with lunapaint, use EUAE for your Amiga apps.  AROS is still a Work In Progress (WIP).  If your expecting a shiny OS with all the bells and whistles, your going to be disappointed for a bit longer as alot of items are in developement.  It's saving grace, it's not costing you a penny for the past, current, and future developement plus AROS is open source.  How much more do you expect?

Yea, AROS is still pretty green. The core os its self is pretty solid and mature at this point. What's needed is drivers and apps ( and a better installer! ). Aros is far from dead though, the developer mailing list is rocking.

The average user probably won't find aros that interesting but keep checking back every 6 months or so, eventually you will find it in a state thats quite useable.

A descent browser port would probably increase the aros community by a factor of 10 in a short ammount of time, and it's only a matter of time until that happens.

come back in, lets say... 30 years... then maybe there is a mozilla beta 0.9b(still no css?). the wi-fi i guess you must wait another 30 years, becouse its more important to port aros to Efika(new ppc hw for morphos) first, than port important applications and function to the x86 version of aros...

You could say the same about OS4.  Until it gets a modern browser and office suite, it'll continue its long, slow slide into oblivion.

Are you just trolling :-?

AROS is free and does't pretend to be anything it isn't.
