I have made a new binary and source snapshot release of AROS. Thought it might be a good idea, since there aren't any nightly builds available and the latest snapshot release was 7 months ago. :) You can download it from SourceForge, at the AROS download page: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=43586&release_id=97940 I haven't done much testing, but i386-pc does boot on my machine atleast. :) There's a huge number of changes since the last snapshot which I won't go into (since I don't really remember them all). One new thing to play with though is Zune (our MUI clone) which is included in this release (in contrib).

There might be a note that AROS REALY needs more developers there is only a handfull of semi active guys. There is also need for people to do documentation and translations.

Linux has won most of the free development power which is a shame :(. Maybe if they built AROS super secure or some other geek feature it could pull in some developers ?
BTw. Anyone else see those pictures of the OpenBSD hack'a'thon , Maybe AROS needs one of those ;)

Oh, and if anyone finds anything odd with the floppy driver (hangs, not sensing diskchanges etc. etc.), please drop me an email with a bug report. Include as much HW detail as you can.

Being super secure is a geek feature? It's essential, man.
You're not a professional computer user are you?

It's not a feature Joe Public would look for or care too much about (unless someone ddin't want the rest of his family to find his porn stash like the dumbass who was in the local press here for his wife finding his porn hiiden in the deep dark recesses of .... the "My documents" folder).
I think that's what the guy meant by "geek" feture, as in a "non-JoePublic" feature.

Want to help AROS development but don't have programming knowledges? Don't worry, here's a way for you to contribute to the AROS effort.
If you have two computers at home, one of which must by force be a PC IBM AT compatible, please try out the floppy image you can get at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/aros/AROS-20020705-i386-pc-boot-debug.img.gz?download and follow the instructions below:
1) Connect the two machines trough a null-modem cable, using the COM1 port on the PC side.
2) Start a terminal program on one machine and set it to 9600 bps, 8 data bits, No parity, 1 stop bit. Start logging.
3) Boot up the AROS image on the PC and let the boot log flow trough your serial cable.
4) When finished, please email the log to aros-bootlogs@lists.sourceforge.net
The longer you keep AROS running, the more informations will be logged, the more you'll help AROS development.
Thank you for your support!
