In a thread reply into Yahoo Groups http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amigaone/message/17027 Eyetech answers regarding these three arguments: 1)AmigaONE Shipment Delay, 2)first users must sign NDA and 3)Installation of PPC SUSE Linux on AmigaONE realized by experts who receive the charge (by the list of the developers of AmigaONE) to set up an easy installable distribution of PPC SUSE Linux.

Quoting:
--------
Anyone who ordered a developer board - dealer or end user - was subscribed to a closed list under NDA.
Several people on this list are on the closed a1g3dev list have boards and some - but not all - of them have boards.
[..]
Some people on the list have far more experience than others when it comes to installing linux.
Since the dev group voted to initially standardise on SuSE PPC Linux - and the A1 boards are NOT the same as the Teron CX boards (which run Turbo Linux) - the group decided to let a select few of the real experts to make an easily installable distribution of SuSE Linux PPC and UAE-PPC first.
The remaining dev boards have already been manufactured but will not be available until this SuSE/UAE release is finalised.
Hyperion are making good progress with sorting out the OS4 boot process...
-------------
End Quoting
I have seen it on Czech Amiga News
Bye,
Raffaele

AmigaONE Shipment Delay - First Users NDA and Installation of PPC SUSE Linux : Comment 16 of 81 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Alex Klauke on 19-Jun-2002 15:49 GMT | In reply to Comment 5 (Anonymous): > You're confusing FUD with genuine criticism.
So writing 'Eyetech did lie to us' is a kind of genuine criticism? My mileage
does definitely vary then. Ok, admittedly, I may have over-read some really
'genuine' criticism, but don't think there was very much of it from you,
Anonymous.. Or maybe I did not see _your_ (?) criticism cause it was buried
under the FUD. I've generally desisted from reading 500+ comments
Amiga-deathmatch threads on ANN. (Pull me leg off, would you please..? No, I'm
not being sarcastic, nooo wayy..)
> An NDA is nothing more than a symbol of oppression
Sorry to tell you, really, but then you must feel oppressed by everything that
considers itself a business, not only Eyetech or AmigaInc.
Get me right, we may discuss if an NDA as such is generally good or not as good.
But as Eyetech and AmigaInc. _are_ a business and want to and need to have some
success to stay on the market, they must take some of the same measures as
everyone else. As simple as that.
After all, an NDA is mostly not for not letting the customer know, but the
business opponents. It's called 'competition', even if its not the world they
are competing for, only the Amiga market, for now.
Ciao, Alex |
