VmwAROS LIVE! is a complete distribution of the AROS desktop operating system. Based on the VmwAROS technologies, VmwAROS LIVE! includes the classic VmwAROS environment, on a bootable live DVD-ROM which runs directly on your hardware (it must be already supported by AROS). VmwAROS LIVE! can be installed on the hard drive and can coexist with Microsoft Windows XP, in a dedicated partition. A quick reference guide and some AROS PDF manuals are included. This version comes also with a Qemu-based virtual machine which allows Windows users to test the distribution in a safer (but slower) environment.
