Well yes. I have some hope that AROS might reach a more usable state and run natively on the Raspberry Pi. Linux is still UNIX™, which is a complicated OS which requires a lot of maintenance, whereas children kept Amigas running for years. AROS on a £25/$30 computer could be a good fun/educational toy OS for kids. -- Liam Proven – Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk – gMail/gTalk/gHangouts: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn/Flickr: lproven – Skype: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 – ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053
