There are now new AROS source and binary snapshots up on 
the SourceForge download page, which you can find at 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=43586.

The following files are available:

o AROS-20020126-source.tar.gz

  The main AROS sources.  

o AROS-20020126-contrib-source.tar.gz

  The contrib sources.

o AROS-20020126-i386-linux.tar.gz

  The hosted version for Linux/i386. This is the most complete
  and mature port, which means that you can run almost all 
  included programs and demos with it. This archive contains
  all AROS and contrib binaries compiled from the CVS tree.
  
o AROS-20020126-i386-freebsd.tar.gz

  The hosted version for FreeBSD/i386. This is a fairly new port
  for which binary snapshots haven't been available for until now,
  so it might not be as mature as the Linux/i386 port. For example,
  this archive does not contain contrib binaries.

o AROS-20020126-i386-pc.tar.gz

  The native version for i386-based PC AT computers and compatibles.
  It works quite well, but the driver support is very limited at the
  moment. This archive contains all AROS and contrib binaries compiled 
  from the CVS tree, but not boot floppy or cdrom images which are 
  available separately.
  
o AROS-20020126-i386-pc-floppies.tar.gz

  The native version for i386-based PC AT computers and compatibles.
  This archive contains the boot and contrib disk floppies which you
  can quickly write to a disk and boot AROS with.

o AROS-20020126-i386-pc-cdrom.iso.gz

  The native version for i386-based PC AT computers and compatibles.
  This is the bootable CDROM ISO image, which contains all programs
  in AROS-20020126-i386-pc.tar.gz. The image is a bit experimental,
  which means that eg. the Startup-Sequence hasn't been adapted
  properly yet (although you can boot into AROS). Also, this version
  WILL NOT work with computer that have more than one CDROM drive.

Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.
