ok

@Amiwell79
I like my computer. I can likely get a compatible netcard, but I'm fine tethering as well.

@AMIGASYSTEM
No way around it. Capped at about 3GB. T60 systems are notorious for it.
Caps Lock light works elsewhere but not on AROS. The key itself functions just fine. NOTE: The light is on the status indicator row.

@deadwood
I was interested in Amiga stuff from the side, a huge part of that being the music scene around it. I'm rather fond of using trackers and those pretty much began on Amiga systems. Amongst the "how2amiga these days" recommendations people give, there is always a mention of AROS. I've always had a preference for doing things on "bare metal", but have no way to get a Power system as of now. So I thought, why not? And really enjoyed it. :-)

I bought an HP Z400 for less than €100, then I got a graphics card and a compatible network card.

Hi,

why don't you consider changing your computer?

Best regards

@FancyPlanet

It's strange that you can't increase the RAM. How old is your PC, what model is it, and is it a laptop or a desktop?

Have you checked whether the Caps Lock light works with XP, and whether it's just a problem with the light not working?

@FancyPlanet

You mentioned you never owned an Amiga, so in a way you are coming from outside the community as I understand. Can you share how you've learned about AROS?

Unfortunately, upgrading the RAM as so would be impossible due to a hardware limitation. In that case, would it be better to stay on 32bit? Will it be dropped eventually?
CapsLock light works in BIOS. It is likely that this is an AROS thing.

Caps Lock Light works fine for me. If the problem persists, and you have a desktop PC, try replacing the keyboard!

To get the most out of AROS 64, you will need to expand the RAM, adding at least another 2 GB.

Oh hey, AmiTube works now! It probably was server side.
Thank you as well, AMIGASYSTEM, for your continuous contributions to AROS.
I'll see about migrating to 64bit when 1.1 comes out. Are there any problems yet to be fixed that could be important to know of?
I don't think I'll get much help by removing the RAM cap, I only have 2GB. XP
Oddly, my capslock light stopped working (the key works), even though it flashes on boot. I'll have to check on a LiveUSB of something else if it does work on other systems.

Hello FancyPlanet, welcome to the forum and thank you for choosing AROS One.

Regarding AmiTube, it works fine for me, I tested it a few minutes ago! It may be that when you tested it, something was not working on the server side, a problem not related to AROS One.

Another reason may be that you used capital letters in your search, for example:

aros one = Works fine
Aros One = Works fine
AROS ONE = Doesn't work

Regarding AROS One 1.0, many things are indeed missing as it was the first version. In a few days, version 1.1 will be available, where many software programs have been ported from the 32-bit version. Of course, others are still missing, but now it is more usable. Among the software programs, Dopus4 now works perfectly as in the 32-bit version (previously it was unusable, too many gurus).

For OWB, as recommended by retrofaza, version 3.0 and the RAM available on 64-bit systems make it much faster, but the first run will be slow due to the font settings.

Welcome to AROS users In my opinion, it is already worth using the 64-bit version. There is only one direction to go! Besides, the Odyssey browser should run faster on 64-bit. On a 64-bit system, you can also test the OWB 3.0 test builds (which you can download here on the forum). And version 3.0 has a newer engine and better support for many new websites.

Hello. I am FancyPlanet — (nick)named so after a song I like — and I've decided to use AROS. :-)
AROS One seemed to be one of the most actively maintained, and it booted without issues on my computer, so that's the one I went with. The only thing I can think of at the moment is that my wireless network card isn't supported, but this is true for most of those cards at this time and I can still connect to the Internet by tethering my Android phone, so it's fine.
I've never owned an Amiga computer. I've only ever looked at them from a distance. And so I thought, "Maybe I could touch some of that experience?", which brought me here.
And touch it I did. Good God, that's amazing. I've not felt so giddy fiddling with a computer in a while. I've found that it's pretty much perfectly usable for my needs right now. Aside from some Windows games, which I can play on my other computer when I want to, it's got all that I could want. I find myself using said other computer less, though, of course, I take great care of it and make sure it's in a good condition at all times. I love it here!
There are minor issues. When opening OWB, for example, everything freezes for a bit before resumes and it loads. AmiTube doesn't seem to work at all — does it for anyone right now? I don't have anywhere else to test. But they are, well, minor. I can live with those. And they'll likely get patched up in an update some time— the system is still in active development, after all.
But really, I love it. When it's not lagging a bit, which isn't that often, it's very snappy. It's fun. It's so, so fun.
I've a question. It seems that there is a 64bit version in development. When would it be recommended to migrate to it? My computer supports it, but I currently use the 32-bit one since it supports more programs and overall seems more stable.
Big thanks to all the developers that work or have worked on this wonderful system. I hope I have a great future (already having a great present) with it.
