OS4 OpenLinux Project - AROS Support

Postby PMJPlay » Thu Jul 04, 2013 1:24 pm

OS4 OpenLinux is a custom Linux distribution compatible with Ubuntu and Debian Linux. It aims for ease of use and user friendliness and falls into the line of what we call "simplified computing".

In a few short weeks OS4 OpenLinux 13.9 will be released and in that release and beyond we will have an OS called AROS in it.

AROS is a lightweight, efficient, and flexible desktop operating system, designed to help you make the most of your computer. It's an independent, portable and free project, aiming at being compatible with AmigaOS at the API level (like Wine, unlike UAE), while improving on it in many areas. The source code is available under an open source license, which allows anyone to freely improve upon it.

Enjoy!

There is a AROS for Acer Aspire One netbook which I have but don't have an external DVD Drive to install it on it.

Unetbootin or UniversalUSBInstaller won't take care of it?
