(As project coordinator Aaron Digulla pointed out some days ago, the AROS project is looking for more developers - this is your chance of rewriting history as AmigaOS is migrating from the MC68k architechture to other computer systems) AROS is the "Amiga Research Operating System", aiming to clone the AmigaOS API allowing you to compile and run virtually any piece of properly written AmigaOS code on any supported platform including Intel x86)
AROS now features a semi complete Locale system. locale.library is there together with the Locale 'Preferences' program.
The 'IPrefs' core component is now tracking the Preferences programs written so far.
Various bugfixes and several enhancements have been made including a working filesystem. Check out all the action on the official AROS website.
AROS Update : Comment 1 of 2ANN.lu

Still progressing steadily, which is good to see.
Shame that they couldn't get the sources for SFS - still judging by the thread on CSAM this doesn't seem to be that bad a problem at the moment :-)
Nice to see FFS is getting support at well, and that the preferences are starting to take shape, and look good. Is there a full API for programming the GUI elements of AROS, as it includes a lot of GUI elements that are not available in GadTools (thank god, otherwise it would be one hell of a crippled GUI!). Maybe I should take a look.
I might give AROS a try on a FreeBSD box I have at home - should be fun to have a play with.
Well done to all the people working on AROS.

In reply to Comment 1 (Graham):
The AROS first choice of GUI is (of course) Intuition as you're used to. However, AROS has 'BGUI' up and running like a charm. From the user's point of view, you won't see much (if any) difference.
