Not quite sure when exactly I did the download. But recently for sure :)

| AROS is Amiga future for sure! It still needs much work, especially 68K version but ultimately AROS will surpass both AOS4 and MOS. After being free and open source another strong point is that it (will) run on better hardware eg. NatAmi :) BTW. I downloaded Icaros tooa and will try to install it to VIA C3 terminal to see if it's faster than XP ;)

| Good news.Aros being open source is handy for natami too.There's no restrictions for aros's evolution then.

| Ask on aros-exec, often the people there can help. Additionally I plan to create a Linux-hosted distribution (based on Kubuntu) with Linux-integration that will solve a lot of limitations.

| Olaf AFAIK when it's hosted it will not use KDE since you use the Kernel (Linux) and the tool-chain (GNU).
what makes the KDE tool-chain such more attractive then the plain Ubuntu variant or is it the modifications in the Kernel that makes a difference?Or do you mean by hosted a Virtual machine?

What are you talking about? KDE is available in almost all Linux distros. And if you want to launch f.e. KDE office suite programs transparently in AROS, of course it needs to be installed. That is what he meant with "Linux integration" btw.
Did you mean to phrase your question "why pick such a bloated distro"? That question I would understand. To me, all Ubuntu variants just look like Debian with annoying scripts and irritating default XOrg settings. Which is basically what they all are. But to each his own. I'd rather run plain Debian though.

| Kubuntu is very Opaque, as opposite to transparent.
If one like scripts they should use slackware.And i Agree Debian does a better job.
It's the reason i have Debian flavor Mint running on my backup system. I personally still like Gentoo, but I lack the time for doing it right.
