PPC-Hardware: UltimatePPC-team reconsiders processor choice
The UltimatePPC team wrote: "As we are nearing the summer holidays it is time for a quick status update from our side. The last few months have been hectic as both Gideon and myself have been extremely busy with personal affairs besides trying to advance the UltimatePPC project. As we have the prototype boards in our hands we have been actively working on booting a basic kernel on the PowerPC core and interfacing the board to the Amiga bus. Parallel we are starting the software development side of things, with WarpOS support being worked on - as well as first contact with Hyperion regarding AmigaOS4 support.

We also keep an eye on feedback from the community and are evaluating the choice made for the P1013 CPU.We knew that the FPU in this processor is incompatible with the ones found on older PowerPC boards. Our original plan to fix these incompatibilities in software turns out to have more impact that we had foreseen. For this reason, we will reconsider the choice of PowerPC CPU, while continuing the development work of other important stuff on the current prototype.

So what's next? First we'll take a few weeks off for holidays and time with family. Somewhere in August we get together again. Expect a new update end of August! Happy holidays!"

Editor's note: The main feature of the UltimatePPC would have been that the used controler (as System on a Chip (SoC)) could have been accessed from "outside" (in this case from the Amiga). If a different CPU would be chosen it is doubtful whether this concept still works. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AROS meets Linux: AEROS published
AEROS is an AROS distribution published by Pascal Papara which uses the Linux-hosted version of AROS as desktop replacement for a Linux distribution. Linux applications can be launched with a Shell command from AROS. Linux and AROS applications can be run simultaneously.

AEROS is available as DVD-image (1,9GB) which works as live-DVD - in this mode the screen solution is limited to 800x600 pixels. After the boot routine the harddrive installation can be chosen via double click on the pictogram.

AEROS at least requires 512 MB RAM, 1 GB is recommended. And you should know how a harddrive can be partitioned under Linux.

The bug fixed release published today additionally includes adapted themes, updated system files (iconify now works) as well as new versions of the web browser OWB and the game Duke Nukem 3D. As new Linux applications Worker, Pitivi and Obconf (themes changer for Linux) were added.

The distribution also is available via torrent. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: Timberwolf 4.0.1.0182 - RC1
The AmigaOS-4-port of the web browser Firefox is available as Timberwolf version 4.0.1.0182 which is the "Release Candidate 1". According to Thomas Frieden this update fixes most of the known bugs.

In substance the bugs were fixed in the JavaScript code because the browser itself was written in JavaScript.
