PPC porting!.. Interesting!
I have never seen AROS in action. How does it feel? Is it similar to MorphOS?

AROS is similar to running a fairly basic 3.1 config, except many times faster and in glorious high-res.

@AmigaMance

AFAIK too unstable to be used yet.

@uncharted

+ better looking and new APIs and so on...

There are also some enhancements to Zune which are not available to MUI.

Very nice things indeed.  It is my hope that soon it might be insatllable to HD by us mortal humans.  

Things are heating up overthere, 06 should be an interesting year for Aros.

had a hunt around, any chance of a more detailed changelog or update summary?

i did a tiny bit of aros dev a couple of years back - wanderer icon sorting, so full geek level changelog is fine by me!
