comp.sys.amiga.morphos newsgroup to be established? : Comment 31 of 63 | ANN.lu |
Posted by RC on 17-Dec-2001 06:52 GMT | In reply to Comment 7 (Bladerunner): It has nothing to do with a brand name here. It is a totally new modular OS with an Amiga emulation built in. Just as you wouldn't include a version of BeOS or Linux with included Amiga emulation under comp.sys.amiga.beos or comp.sys.amiga.linux. UseNet works with a standardized hierarchy. Listing this under comp.sys.amiga.morphos would pose two problems:
1> No proper subgroups (aka comp.sys.morphos.developers, comp.sys.morphos.announce, &c)
2> Confusion with MorphOS versions that do not include Amiga emulation, which I can safely assume to exist in the near future. Think about it, who would use Amiga emulation to route distributed PowerPC computing networks. The MorphOS kernel is not Amiga anything, at all. Therefore it is a new OS platform, and should deserve a new comp.sys or comp.os newsgroup subheader. \
This is not an AmigaOS vs. MorphOS argument. It shouldn't evolve into one either. I will not partake in such a discussion if it does. This is simply a logical observation about proper UseNet usage. The proper use of a comp.sys.amiga.morphos would be to talk about Amiga compatibility on Morph, but not as the main MorphOS newsgroup.
