About Amiga Research Operating System (AROS)
AROS is a portable and free desktop operating system aiming at being compatible with AmigaOS 3.1, while improving on it in many areas.
Designed to be portable and flexible, ports are currently available for x86 and PowerPC based PCs in native and hosted flavours, with other architectures in development.
The source code is available under an open source license, which allows anyone to freely improve upon it.
