AROS: AEROS 3.9.0a for i386-computers available (2nd Update)
In Pascal Papara's indieGO!-store version 3.9.0a of his Linux-hosted AROS-distribution AEROS is available (video).

For a longer time, only ARM-devices are supported but this AEROS-update, based on the Linux distribution Knoppix, again is meant for x86-PCs. Version 3.9.0a does not has to be installed because it is an USB/Flash-image.

Pascal Papara wrote: "For registering please use the 'graphical client'. These are the download links below (on the markteplace or downloads sites).

I hope I have gathered all configurations. Knoppix is booting almost on all computers/platforms but configurating X11 and/or Compiz is a little bit tricky. Common problem: I still did not succeeded in adapting the X11 configuration for the EEEPC701. I am working on it. On all platforms AEROS 3.9 should work.

Changelog:

Switched to knoppix (a Debian-based distribution focused on live-mode)
Removed old AROS Vision files, no new ones included yet (waiting for the light version)
Fixed FS-UAE icon, didn't work before
Replaced OpenOffice by LibreOffice
Updated GIMP
Web browser is now Iceweasel, feel free to install another one

Regressions: A lot icons are dead end because the Linux apps are not all on par with 3.5. If you reinstall the apps using apt-get or synaptic, the icons will work again.

Future versions only will be available on the indieGO!-store. Soon it will be part of the distributions and keep them current. The new version then makes it possible to create an indieGO-ID out of the client (without web browser)."

Update: (15:51, 03.08.14, snx)
As Pascal Papara mentions in our german comments section, the archive is corrupt and will be replaced.

2nd Update: (19:51, 04.08.14, snx)
Meanwhile the file has been replaced. (snx) (Translation: dr)
