WmvAROS Live! beta 0.7.1

What AROS is?

The AROS Research Operating System 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 3.1 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.

More words: Remember your old Amiga? ;)


Then...


VmwAROS is the AROS environment already installed and configured in a virtual machine. Compatible with any recent VMware product for Windows, Linux and Macintosh.

This is a LiveCD - VmwAROS Live! which can run on any PC hardware without virtualisation. It can be installed on the hard drive too. Hardware must be compatible with the AROS operating system.
