Q: Will Aston ever become freeware/opensource?

Aston FAQ: frequently asked questions about Aston usage
No. We believe, that the only way to keep Aston the way it is now is to keep it being developed by a certain group of professional programmers. If you want a free opensource shell, try using Litestep. If you just want to add more features to Aston, try using our open plug-in SDK, which has sources of some plug-ins. In certain cases we may consider making sourcecode of other plug-ins available to the third party developers. The short answer is "No".

Q: Is Aston really that fast?

Aston FAQ: frequently asked questions about Aston usage
Aston is known to run on old Pentium I computers wit 32 Mb RAM without any speed penalty (in this case you might need to switch to some basic Themes like Aston Desktop, as modern ones require more computing power). No similar program of that kind shows such results. You can enable or disable certain shell functions in order to reach balance between speed and appearance/additional functionality, but in any case Aston won't slow your computer down.

Upgrade to 0.7.2 or newer. Older versions have a bug in Slirp caused by a 64/32 bit mismatch. Newer versions have a workaround for this, though the Slirp code really needs to be cleaned up at some point. If you can't find smbserver in My Network Places, try searching for it, e.g. (on Windows 2000) Start -> Search -> Files or folders -> Computers, then search for "smbserver". When found, double click "smbserver", right click "qemu" and map it to a drive letter.
