I think the Amiga might really have a revival if it's not limited to specific hardware.Futuristhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01611897780099489741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14437807.post-1153540523367041552006-07-21T23:55:00.000-04:002006-07-21T23:55:00.000-04:00once the USB stack is done, it would be a very good thing is someone were to take the DVB framework and all the DVB-T firmwares as found at http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/<BR/><BR/>http://www.linuxtv.org/<BR/><BR/>plus a AROS port of perhaps VLC so as to take those USB DVB cards streams and multicast them to the local network.<BR/><BR/>a lot of work, but werth the effort to be able to have AROS work as your DVB server for the masses.request*noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14437807.post-1153539688155929142006-07-21T23:41:00.000-04:002006-07-21T23:41:00.000-04:00is there any real chance that someone will port the AROS shell/cli (kingcon is it?)and the requestchoice/requestfile apps to linux x86 and ppc so i can start to re-use some old amiga gui scripts from my x86 and mac ppc RH some day?.request*noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14437807.post-1146381987845836702006-04-30T03:26:00.000-04:002006-04-30T03:26:00.000-04:00Finally there is something useful for an respectable OS. I'm new to AROS (runs in Qemu) and it is like he said - there isn't much you can do with it. But the OS works fine to some degree. I think AMIGA Developers should consider porting more software to AROS. It is really like an AMIGA and (besides porting issues due to heavy asm use in the past) it's IMHO much better than many people think.<BR/><BR/>mazeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14437807.post-1146061638398933972006-04-26T10:27:00.000-04:002006-04-26T10:27:00.000-04:00yeah...thats the way . True ... hope AROS makes its way . Id like to c and use another Amiga like sytem on x86 hardware. when its usable it will be my main OS :)Trekmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14437807.post-1145596766399895862006-04-21T01:19:00.000-04:002006-04-21T01:19:00.000-04:00I have been podcasting AROS in the news section of my podcast<BR/><BR/>TS@TEXAS@AU<BR/>Amiga setup:(hardware based): stock A1200,<BR/>2x disk drives,KS\WB 3.1<BR/>---------------<BR/>amiga podcast (in dev)<BR/>http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amiga_podcast/<BR/>rss http://www.ourmedia.org/og/feed/134555<BR/>---------------<BR/>Amiga does more with a 7 MHz 68000 than a PC with a Pentium and gets it right!<BR/>quote number: 17tom sparkshttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/amiga_podcast/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14437807.post-1145135724735378362006-04-15T17:15:00.000-04:002006-04-15T17:15:00.000-04:00I'm not against open source, in fact, Lunapaint is not closed source, the source will be available (although not presently, because of design issues). The point is that AROS isn't as fanatical a platform when it comes to OSS as Linux is, which is only a good thing for users -- it means more software.<BR/>I don't know how you interpreted my responses the way you do, but I assure you, I'm not against open source in any way, and I wouldn't for a second wish AROS to resume under a closed source license.<BR/>Open source is not an aim in itself, it's where open source is applied that counts, and for apps and games, the method isn't always sensical. Operating systems on the other hand are in my opinion hard to trust if they are closed off.<BR/>Hope you understand me.m0ns00nnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14437807.post-1145059651315470222006-04-14T20:07:00.000-04:002006-04-14T20:07:00.000-04:00Uh, the system itself is open source.<BR/>They just won't tar-and-feather deveopers who want to do closed source apps/drivers.<BR/>Please at least read articles that you are commenting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14437807.post-1145026582183389092006-04-14T10:56:00.000-04:002006-04-14T10:56:00.000-04:00Closed source is bad news.
