About Icaros 1.4

Icaros Desktop 1.4 is the new "point release" of the most known AROS distribution. This new version includes many changes and enhancements, giving users a better experience and amazing tools like Odyssey Web Browser, Audio Evolution 4, Frying Pan and many others. Coders will find a complete development environment with tools, libraries and languages, such as the latest versions of PortablE, fpc and so on. Icaros Desktop Live! also provides games and utilities for your every days fun, bringing the richest amiga-like desktop environment available on commodity hardware. Classic Amiga addicts will also enjoy playing their favorite games on ADF files without the need of original Kickstart files from Commodore, while other emulators included in the distribution allow access to software written for most platforms of the past.

About AspireOS 1.7

This AROS Distribution is very basic. The included software are well tested. AspireOS tries to be as close to the original Amiga OS as possible. To learn more about AspireOS and to download the latest release go to www.aspireos.com

(*) - Because of the changes to the overall system that have been made to ensure Odyssey works well, please do not try and extract from the distributions unless you fully understand what is needed and also understand you may be wrong. We want all users to enjoy this great new browser and not have their experience ruined by having the wrong version of support files installed.
