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. (Read More)
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 36 of 81 | ANN.lu |
Posted by The simple truth on 19-Jun-2002 21:14 GMT | In reply to Comment 28 (Coolio): >>Okaaaaaaay, I hope you are taking your pills.
>I DON'T NEED any pills! I'm high on LIFE, because I use MorphOS!!
Someone please tell me this is a joke, :(
OK mr CAPS, maybe YOU'LL understand me BETTER now?
I REALLY hope THAT YOU are TALKING about that VERY old BETA, which times OUT regularly, because IF you ARE actually involved in the MorphOS PROJECT then heaven HELP THEM.
>>Amiga Inc. couldn't open source the AmigaOS because of patent issues,
>ROFL! If YOU believe this then I have some prime real estate in SWAMP COUNTRY >for you!! LOL!
WHY shouldn't I believe THIS? It's THE TRUTH. Amiga DON'T own A SINGLE Amiga patent, Gateway STILL own THEM ALL. Also SOME important components SUCH as ARREX belong TO third PARTIES. AMIGA can't LEGALLY OPEN source AMIGAOS.
>>simple legal fact. Why MorphOS? Surely if the OS was opensourced we
>>would all compile our own free versions and make our own >mprovements? >>There'd be no need to *buy* MorphOS.
>YES THERE WOULD! The hard work and dedication of Ralph and others would NOT be >included if it were OPEN SOURCE!!! There would be NO advantage to just having >the AmigaOS by itself! It NEEDS to be run under MorphOS!!!!!!
Why NOT? SOMEONE could PORT AmigaOS to PPC for *free*, and put NICE stuff ON it. Maybe if THE MOS team had SPENT less TIME bitching AND MORE time programming, it WOULD be done BY now.
AmigaOS hasn't NEEDED to BE RUN under MorphOS before, WHY does it suddenly NEED TO now? If YOU are refering TO the QUARK microkernal, that IS a moot POINT, as NOTHING actually TAKES advantage of it yet, and won't FOR a long WHILE. |
