AROS: AEROS beta version 8 for Raspberry Pi (free version)
Pascal Papara's Linux-based AROS-distribution AEROS for the small computer Raspberry Pi now is available as public beta version 8 (video). Registered users can download the new version under the title link. As usual the free version does not include the lx-command for launching Linux-programms from the Shell or the Wanderer and is available in the indieGO!-Appstore.
Changes:
- Better compatibility with different SD-cards (8 GB or more is required)
- Supports now Raspberry Pi model B+ and A
- Changed theme for Linux app to one with less hunger for ressources
- Epiphany webbrowser with HW-accelerated HTML5 (YouTube is working, HTML5 games as well)
- Latest Debian Wheezy system files
- Enabled AROS network stack at boot so games and software requiring this will work now (for example Abuse)
- Removed old unnecessary stuff
Pascal Papara has changed his Ebay offer for the new Raspberry-Pi models. He ships MicroSD-cards with adapters for the old models.
If there are any problems concerning the speed of downloads from his Appstore, he recommends to edit the chunk size in the file "app-dlm.prefs" using a text editor. Instead of using the default setting of 64, the figures 128, 256, 512 and so on can be checked out.
