Looking for beta testers for AROS-distribution "Broadway"

- slim distribution
- optimized installation (installs faster than a nightly)
- online update (check and update apps or core-parts if needed)
- based on latest nightly - this resolves a problem with the ArtEffect CD, so it will be included soon again to the AresOne package
- Amistart replacement called starter (We need a name! Please give suggestions!); The starter is just a button in ther right bottom corner, if you click it will open to the left. This behaviour is configurable! The Starter is done by Allanon.
- Preconfigured for imica and AresOne
