      MSGID: 1:18/200.0 5e3c97a2       Hi everyone,              From https://tinyurl.com/unsycgx (arcanoae.com)              ===       What Arca NoaeaCOs upcoming UEFI support means for ArcaOS              As we previously mentioned here, Arca Noae has been working to develop a       solution to install and boot ArcaOS on UEFI-based systems. Many of these       laptops, desktops, and servers lack a traditional BIOS, rendering them aCo       until very recently aCo unsuitable for OS/2 (and thus, ArcaOS). Likewise,       tablet devices and Chromebooks have been almost beyond our grasp, with very       few exceptions.              If you have attended any OS/2-focused events in the past year, you may have       witnessed demonstrations of UEFI-based installations of ArcaOS. We are       extremely pleased to announce that this functionality is in our betas for       ArcaOS 5.1, and should provide a very smooth and similar installation       experience to our current system install (DVD, USB, or hard disk partition).              The work is not yet finished, and much remains to be completed, particularly       in the area of DOS video support. Our objective, of course, is to have a       fully functioning ArcaOS environment on this type of hardware, complete with       full screen and windowed DOS and Win-OS/2 sessions. We are very close to       accomplishing these goals.              ArcaOS 5.1 will be an upgrade from ArcaOS 5.0. For a more complete list of       planned enhancements for 5.1, as well as whataCOs in beta now for 5.0.5,       please visit our ArcaOS Roadmap page.              DonaCOt have ArcaOS yet? Now is a great time to pick up a license or two and       replace that aging Warp 4 or eComStation installation and get to know whataCOs       new and improved. ArcaOS runs the vast majority of existing OS/2 Warp 4       software, because it really is OS/2 aCo just better. ArcaOS supports more       modern hardware than any other OS/2 distribution available today, making       hardware upgrades much easier than ever before. An ArcaOS 5.0 license now       means steep discounts on future upgrades, including 5.1.       ===              Later,       Sean              ...
