I would like to welcome you to The AROS Show. I plan to make this a place where you can read information about the Amiga Research Operating System. AROS is an open source operating system based on Amiga OS 3.1, but it will be improved in many areas. AROS is mainly targeting Intel platforms, but will be expanded on various other platforms in the future.

The AROS Show will try to answer some of the questions you may have about AROS, while providing you with information about the community, happenings and developers. It will do it's best to update you on current and upcoming applications in AROS.

The AROS Show is maintained by me, Paul J. Beel. I am about to tell you a little about myself, so if you don't want to hear the boring details, feel free to skip this part.
I have been an Amiga enthusiast ever since my parents bought me an Amiga 500 somewhere around 1986. I'm showing my age a bit with that statement. I still own an Amiga 1200, but use an emulator called Amiga Forever to play around in. October 2001, a friend and I opened an Amiga specific web site named GetBoinged.org. This was mainly a web based file repository for everything current in Aminet and carried new Amiga DE applications. The site reached over 1 million hits after it's first 4 months. The site shutdown in 2003 because we just did not have the time to run it anymore. The Amiga has still remained in my thoughts and I am doing my best to contribute to the AROS project at the present time. AROS is very exciting to me, because it breathes new life into an Amiga type operating system. New features and applications are being implemented everyday. I go by the nickname of NovaBurst on the AROS-Exec.org forum and in the AROS IRC Channel. The AROS IRC Channel is on the Freenode network at #aros.

This is a great project with a very friendly community. If the Amiga interests you, you should definitely check out AROS. AROS would love to have new developers and users in the community.

Please read the first post on the site for more information on getting involved with AROS. The information is from the official AROS web site at http://www.aros.org.

I hope you enjoy The AROS Show. Please visit often, because I plan to update frequently and fill the site with new information.

Thank you!
