What are you doing~!!??

Natively. It's a pain to install. The installer needs a lot of work so you have to partition the drive manually (which is a little funky because they stick an RDB inside a PC MBR partition). That's about as far as I've gotten. The nightly build I have seems to be missing the format64 command so I haven't been able to format the drive.
There seem to be some drawing bugs either in Intuition or Zune. Widgets don't seem to un-grayout properly and sometimes you'll end up with artifacts from other windows on buttons. I'm currently limited to only 16 colors in 640x480. It seems that the old SVGA card I grabbed doesn't have a proper VESA BIOS. Biggest thing I'm looking to try out is the new networking support as that's what's kept me from using it at all before. Overall, it still has a ways to go before it's ready for prime time, but it's getting more useable all the time.
Hmm, well I hear the version running under Linux is a lot more usable, but of course that's not what I'd refer to as a real OS. Also, now that the GUI layer from MorphOS has been open-sourced, maybe the AROS team can incorporate that.
edit - hey, 16 colors, 640x480 - no worse than running Workbench on an ECS machine! 😉 Probably a bit slower, though...

I'm pretty sure that the license on that GUI layer is incompatible with the AROS license. It could be added to the contrib section, but it can never be a part of the core operating system unless it gets a new license.
Still, the GUI in AROS isn't that broken. I would imagine if there weren't so many other things that need attention that it would get fixed relatively quickly.

Except that the old Workbench releases were designed to run in 16 colors. Aros has all the;se pretty hi-color icons that look absolutely terrible in 16 colors.
EDIT: Turns out the rendering errors I refered to only occur in VGA mode. I threw my Voodoo 3 3000 from my Amiga in my AROS box and the problems went away. Still haven't managed to format the drive yet.

One of my new favorite hobbies is reading up on crimes at http://www.crimelibrary.com/ the serial killers section in particular. So far my favorite is the Issei Sagawa story. He went to France and murdered then ate a woman who lived there. Back in Japan his rich father totally bailed him out, since then he has been a guest on various talk shows, has his own website, starred in mangas and pornos and is just generally regarded as a celebrity. Check the site out, there are some interesting reads.

Isn't that ironic...
ermm, I just started my next Calculus class in my long treck towards a masters in Mathematics. It's fun integrating things! We are doing definite integration of inverse triginometric functions... ermm that sounds so pompous. Wait no, it sounds pompous when I say the my teacher thinks I'm a nut case because I can do them in my head.
I bought new clothes today, I look sexy, I look REALLY sexy... to bad I don't have pics to show you how sexy I am. Because I am just so damn SEXY!

I know what you mean, when I was in London last, they thought I was some sort of IRA terrorist or something--just because I have an Irish sounding last name. And possibly because I tend to look like I'm up to no good.
I just got done "pwning" the little kids on Xbox Live playing TimeSplitters 3; the last game I thought I'd be good at. How are these damn little kids getting credit cards and signing up for Live anyway?

Mal: What happend to that funny song you posted in here last night??? it was FUNNY!
I just got to work, I am "Live Monitoring" right now.... I took my Calc2 exam earlier. I think I did well although I missed one question because I forgot the damn formula for Maclaurin series... DAMN IT!
Well I'm here to hang out all night! heh heh, y'all must be gettin' tired of me!
Wait a second... is that a girl on SX? How strange (or am I being rude?)
