As most Amiga people out there know, AROS has been there for a little while. The Amiga Research Operating System was created back "when the fulure of Amiga looked particularly dim." Their goal is to be compatible with AmigaOS 3.1. Now they are making a new operation system with Amiga compatiblity, though you can't run the origional programs on it without either running it on a m68k platform or recompiling it. Or you can do the old fashioned thing and run the new AROSUAE, Ironically an Amiga Emulator.
[currently, the notable ports of AROS is i386 (which ironically needs a 486 computer), PowerPC and m68k]
AROS supprisingly have a reasonable amount of support. One notable supporter is Genesi, the people behing PEGASOS. They are also supported by SourceForge, and they have some sort of relationship with a german company called trustsec.
