The complete Icaros Desktop environment on a bootable live-DVD. It includes everything included in the Light edition, but adds dozens of applications like image editors, drawing programs, music composers, converters, programming languages and the whole AROS SDK with tools and libraries. It can run natively on your hardware, or hosted on Windows and Linux.

An experimental version of the Light Distribution, targeted for pendrives. You just need a 2GB pendrive and a program like PassMark ImageUSB to restore the image (or a similar solution for Linux). Beware of the fact that your pendrive will be cleaned off completely with any data already available on it and, more over, any space available on bigger drives will be wasted, until you recover it by cleaning off the AROS partition and re-format the pendrive again.

NOTE: as our friend Magorium pointed out, PassMark ImageUSB places a 512 byte header before the actual partition. So, if you're using dd on a Linux environment to write the bin file to the USB pendrive, you must strip that header before writing:
dd bs=512 skip=1 status=progress if=icaros_ light_2-3-0_pendrive.bin of=icaros_light _2-3-0_pendrive_OK.bin && sync
