Does anyone play with AROS around here?

I tried AROS years ago and found it to be so unstable that it wasn't worth my
time.  This week however I tried it again and found it to be quite different.

I loaded AROS up in VirtualBox and it really works well there.  I was surprised
to see the old Term 68k terminal program there...and it worked, right alongside
the x86 AROS stuff.

The Icaros distribution has this "hosted" thing and I recommend against it.
Compared to VirtualBox, it is highly unstable and everything crashes.  Running
it in VirtualBox is quite stable.


....of course I'm typing this using NComm on fs-uae.  And some Linux black magic
using socat and tcpser.  God bless you Jim Brain...
