AROS SAM440 ISO Released
« on: July 25, 2008, 03:09:46 AM »
I would like to thank Dr. Schulz for his long and very hard work for AROS development over the years.  

His latest achievement for SAM440 can be found here.

I'm not up to speed with AROS and SAM440.
Does this mean that AROS is "complete" now for the SAM440 board ? Or is it now at the same stage of development as the X86 version ?
Sorry if this sounds weird, but like I said I'm a noob when it comes to AROS and SAM440, let alone the combination of them both.

@Red:

Not really interested in a $459 motherboard that runs AROS.  I can run AROS on a x86 board for cheaper.

@TheMagicM

As the current distro stands? I'm with you. I'm thinking of potential. All it would take is an developer or 2 to take up the challenge to make a PUP, WUP layer. How about OS4Emu and MOSemu?

I guess I am dreaming.. :cry:

It is cool that AROS was made for this board but I can run AROS on many X86 motherboards I have lying around here. I got alot of them free.

I'm trying not to be blinded because of my love for MorphOS but, I just dont see why I should buy a SAM440 for AROS.  I mean, there's some GOOD STUFF coming out of Freescale pretty soon that sounds very exciting and cheaper than a SAM440.  On top of that.. Eventually MOS will run on a MacMINI.. well I have one right here.. lol

Because trying to make people understand why a community-driven open source AmigaOS clone is "da b0mb" is completely useless, if people don't undertstand this by themselves. We've reached the point to have a usable operating system for free in our spare time, and time is never enough. So maybe we have better using it to improve AROS, than repeating every time the same things in forums. Sorry, pal.

Anyway, there's no motivation why AROS shouldn't be ported to Pegasos and Efika too, it would take a willing developer only, doing what Michal did on the SAM (and one thing is porting a x86 OS on PPC hardware, another thing is porting a PPC OS on another PPC platform). This would give us all a common free and open plarform to use and develop on. Just ask Linux enthusiasts it they would buy a UNIX OS licence to run the same OS on their PCs.

But it's practically pointless, if most of the community is always waiting for Xmas, struggling in a stupid red-blue war, eternally waiting for AInc to do something, or the MOS team to lower MorphOS prices. AROS is here and it's costantly improving, it runs on x86 and SAM today and for free. It's time for the community to decide if it prefer going on to rely on someone else, or turning to action and take control of the platform by itself.

I was bored of waiting long ago.

@paolo

I can't even begin to describe how "well put"
that post of your is.

I agree 100 %
AmigaOS or MorphOS on x86 would sell orders of magnitude more than the current, hardware-intensive solutions. And they\\\'d go faster. --D.Haynie
