DownloadNote If you are a user willing to try AROS, please use the links in the Distributions section to download a fully featured AROS distribution. The nightly builds you will find at the bottom of the page are only meant for developers and testers. The nightly builds are not configured to be easily used, sometimes are not stable and they are missing most of the applications essential to a regular user experience. DistributionsDistributions are preconfigured and tested versions of AROS. They contain a number of useful user applications that don't come with the main AROS.org binaries and will be of great interest to users. They may not have the latest core system, but their stability and user friendliness is much greater than those of the nightly builds. If you are a user interested in checking what AROS has to offer, use the distributions to get the most complete AROS experience. Icaros Desktop LIVE!
Icaros Desktop LIVE! is a complete distribution of the AROS desktop operating system. It comes on a bootable live DVD-ROM that runs directly on your PC (its hardware components must already be supported by AROS). It can be installed on the hard drive and can coexist with installed OS such as Microsoft Windows XP, in a dedicated partition. A quick reference guide and some AROS PDF manuals are included. This version also comes with a Qemu-based virtual machine that allows Windows users to test the distribution in a safer (but slower) environment. Icaros Desktop VE
Icaros Desktop VE (Virtual Environment) is a complete AROS desktop environment running on VMware virtual machines. Targeted at final users and at developers, Icaros Desktop VE allows testing and using the AROS Research Operating System without really installing it on the hard drive. It can be a reliable way to access this interesting OS for people with powerful, but not yet natively-supported, hardware. SnapshotsSnapshots are non-periodic, non-automated builds of AROS. They are done by developers who can't set up a nightly build for some technical or political reason. These ports are not unmaintained, so please use the bug tracker to report bugs.
Nightly buildsNightly builds are done, as the name implies, automatically every night directly from the Subversion tree and contain the latest code. However, they have not been tested in any way and may contain bugs. Most of the time though, they work just fine. Please report bugs you may discover while using these builds through the bug tracker. For any other necessity, please feel free to contact us through the AROS-Exec forums. Note When downloading nightly builds or snapshots, you must use a download manager that can continue an interrupted download, or a command line utility such as wget (you can use "wget -c" to get the rest of a file partially downloaded by another program).
