AresOne 2012
AresOne Reloaded
The AresOne 2012, just like its predecessors
AresOne,
AresOne 2010,
and
AresOne 2011,
is a complete PC system specifically assembled to be used with
 AROS.
The hardware components were selected to get the most out of the current AROS version,
and to be ready for future improvements. The AresOne 2012 is
suitable for Amiga enthusiasts, friends of light HTPC systems, and experienced users,
it is not intended for the average Windows user (please keep in mind
that AROS, albeit progressing nicely, is still in development).

Software:
The AROS Research Operating System is a lightweight, efficient and flexible
desktop operating system, designed to help you make the most of your computer.
It's an independent, portable and free project, aiming at being compatible with
Amiga OS at the API level, while improving on it in many areas.
Additionally to AROS, the AresOne can be pre-installed with
Debian GNU/Linux,
Ubuntu
or Windows, if you wish.
The AresOne also comes with the A-Live X software package, which contains
Cinnamon Writer and a licence key for Frying Pan.
We also include a special OEM version of
Amiga Forever
with the package. The latter is useful for UAE since it contains the
required Kickstart and Workbench images (1.3 and 3.x) for UAE plus
50 games and 50 demos. If you need more Amiga Forever, you can also purchase
the full version
at a reduced price.
Every AresOne customer gets a licence for the AMC software package,
the program is available for download on the
AMC website.
A portion of the AresOne profits will be used to fund AROS projects, especially
driver development and licensed application software.
