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 30 of 81 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Adam Kowalczyk on 19-Jun-2002 19:27 GMT | In reply to Comment 14 (Coolio): > This delay comes as NO surprise to me!
All projects have delays to some extent. The project that Hyperions is tackling is fairly large.
> I hope this makes it all the clearer why AmigaOS 4.0 is doomed and MorphOS Is the only real alternative out there. Don't you people get it? MorphOS IS the Amiga!!!
Speaking of delays and NDA's doesn't mean that OS 4.0 is doomed. That's a pretty big leap. If only people took those leaps from buildings, there wouldn't be as much FUD being thrown about.
> Amigans need to unite behind the banner of MorphOS since it's the only chance we have!
Coolio, that's the funniest thing I've read today. I'm glad MorphOS exists as it's created some fine reading material. I just hope you're not marching about in uniforms while you're carrying those banners ;)
Until MorphOS and AmigaOS are available for comparison in the areas of feature set and compatibility, everything is speculation and grandstanding. If you want to run Amiga 3.1 apps on your MorphOS box that is fine by me, but making statements like "it's the only chance we have" make yourself look like a mentally unstable zealot. |
