<h1>AFROS</h1>
<p>AFROS is a self-explanatory acronym: <b>A</b>tari <b>FR</b>ee <b>O</b>perating <b>S</b>ystem. It used to be distributed in the form of a harddisk image but now it's just a plain set of files creating preinstalled TOS compatible EmuTOS/FreeMiNT/fVDI/XaAES based operating system. The most exciting feature for me is its completely <strong>Free</strong> nature - all key components (EmuTOS, FreeMiNT, fVDI, XaAES and Teradesk) are completely free "as in Freedom" and can be redistributed under the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html">GNU General Public License</a>. This is the first time for Atari users to have a TOS/GEM compatible, complete, free and powerful operating system - from power-on all the way through to the multitasking GEM desktop with robust FreeMiNT kernel in the background and fast fVDI graphics on the screen.</p>
<p>Although AFROS contains software generally available for all Atari/TOS compatible platforms it's been optimized to be powered by the <a href="index.html">ARAnyM</a>. Thus AFROS contains up-to-date NatFeat based hardware drivers for video, disk, sound, HostFS and networking and so is suitable also for updating your regular ARAnyM setup with fresh ARAnyM drivers.</p>
<p>In the combination of ARAnyM/Linux and AFROS you basically get a completely free TOS/MiNT compatible operating system running on any machine where Linux runs. That's a break-through for all Atari users - now you can turn almost any hardware into your familiar TOS/GEM system (can't believe? Check out the fresh <a href="livecd.html">ARAnyM/AFROS Live CD</a>).</p>
<p>AFROS can be found in the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/aranym/files/afros/">AFROS download area</a> in a ZIP archive. After unpacking it please read the README.txt. You'll also find there the very latest CVS versions of EmuTOS, FreeMiNT and XaAES with finetuned configuration so it boots to a working desktop.</p>
