AROS - a new portable distribution

Who is this for?

This distribution is aimed at:

curious users who want to try out AROS without prior experience,
those who don’t own (or don’t want to buy) compatible recommended hardware,
enthusiasts who want to carry AROS in their pocket – ready to boot on the go.

This is not meant to replace existing AROS distributions, but rather to complement them. It’s a convenient tool for discovering and using AROS in a modern and accessible way.

System requirements:

A reasonably modern x86_64 (64-bit) computer,
USB 3.0 support (both host and USB stick),
A 1920×1080 display,
Processor virtualization option (usually Intel VT-x, “Intel Virtualization Technology” or AMD-V, “SVM Mode”) available in BIOS/UEFI and enabled.

What does it offer?

Quick and easy boot from USB – no installation required,
A ready-to-use graphical environment upon launch,
User experience similar to that of dedicated hardware.
