Announcement   Announcement : AROS meets Linux = AEROS
   posted by phoenixkonsole on 11-Jul-2012 20:37:14 (8079 reads)
Tadaaaa!!! No.. this is not Jokers pencil trick ; )

In roughly 3 hours you can download the first public release of AEROS.

Read more...




What is AEROS?
AEROS is a hybrid distribution of AROS (www.aros.org) and Unix (in the moment debian 6.0 is used) available for ARM and x86 systems.

Why?
AROS is a wonderful OS (an opensource reimplementation of the classic Amiga OS). This means it is fast, and not only because of the small footprint it is very fast.
Many times faster than Linux with all its „lightweight“ desktops.

But why running on OS hosted on another? Doesn’t it slow down?
No! AROS hosted (here in form of AROS Broadway) uses less resources than any desktop manager for linux offering the same functionality.
So in fact it is faster. Especially on slow ARM systems AROS hosted will blow your mind.

What are the Benefits?

Benefits for AROS users of having Linux under the hood:
- more drivers (printers, scanners, NIC, Videocards and more
- you are able to run every Linux app including Wine (which enables the use of Windows (TM) apps without the need of Windows(TM))
- AROS - Developers can use Linux development tools
- AROS apps can utilize Linux tools to enhance there own functionalitiy.
- Single AROS processes can be forced to run on a single core.

Benefits for Linux users of having AROS on top Linux
- Fast desktop, maybe the fastest on LInux
- Allows you to run AROS apps and games too, most of them come from Amiga and have a low footprint. You will like how fast they are.
- Allows you to use JanusUAE - an integrated Amiga emulation... classic 68k Amiga apps can be used in coherency mode


PS: Don’t worry ... TUX is smiling.. so he likes it ; )

@phoenixkonsole

Is there a forum where we can winge and gripe about stuff we cannot make work? I am using the Raspberry Pi image and gdm is broken and seems best removed all together. Also, the Ralink wifi driver is recognised, but does not initialise. Finally, it is not possible to change a project tool. I have been trying to make a newshell icon for the Utilities folder, but cannot change the project tool from editor to iconx.

If we knew the hacks you used to make existing stuff work (e.g. do the AmigaOS iconedit icons work in Aeros) that would get us more involved in the Aeros project. However, this is not the best place to do this.

I wonder if they would accept another topic in the Raspberry Pi forum (http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/).
