AmigaOS

The authentic Amiga experience with the original Amiga Operating System. AmigaOS 4.1 is coming and has seen no less than 6 free major updates and at least 88 smaller updates released since then.

Features Integrated online updating software : AmiUpdate is now integrated into AmigaOS to provide timely operating software updates on a regular basis. It enables the development team to deliver continuous operating system updates. Customers have always wanted more updates and sooner. AmiUpdate helps the development team deliver bug fixes, locale files, new drivers and features much quicker and easier than ever before. AmiUpdate is similar to software update systems on other platforms so it is easy to get used to. AmiUpdate also includes a healthy amount of preferences options to customize it to your liking as is expected by Amiga users.

Easy to navigate desktop environment and application launcher : AmigaOS AmidockAmigaOS comes with its own desktop environment called Workbench. Workbench comes with a range of functions to help users access and arrange their documents, photographs, music and video files in an intuitive manner. Naturally, users may also customise the look and feel of Workbench from the background desktop image through to the design of the interface and much more.

Themes/TrueType Fonts/Anti-aliasing/Truecolor Icons : AmigaOS Truetype Fonts SupportWorkbench has the ability to use themes that change its look instantly. A theme is a set of configurations that change the appearance of the window borders, buttons, fonts, backgrounds, etc. Many users have created their own themes that anyone can use to make a desktop look special or unusual.

AmigaOS has the ability to use TrueType anti-aliased fonts, like most modern operating systems. This allows the user to augment his system fonts from the variety of fonts available on line.

The appearance of the Workbench is enhanced by the use of scalable icons with truecolor depth. With an icon plugin, you can use any PNG image as an icon by just renaming it. Many PNG icon collections can be found online, which the user can download and install.

Easy and fast installation procedure : The installation procedure of the AmigaOS is really fast and simple. The user can start the installation from a bootable CD or (on supported hardware) from a bootable SD-Card, which leads the user through helpful screens where he/she has to make the necessary choices. Within a minute the installation starts by copying the necessary files to the system, then, after a reboot, the system is ready to be used.

PythonPython scripting language : AmigaOS 4.x has added one more scripting language to the system.
