Amigart has put online an excerpt from a log of the ExecSG Kernel booting on both the AmigaOne G3 and G4.
Just click here to take a look at it.
Amigart has got a snapshot of the output log during the boot on a monitor, too.

Oh, I'm not tied to Amiga since I use Linux for some years now. It's an eventuality for me switching back to an Amiga like system. And I don't even know if I really want to because I don't miss anything. It's not necessarily a Killer-App that I like to see. It's the community I like. It's hard to actually describe it.
I like that people started to understand that a future for Amiga can only be done by getting back old Users and getting new Customers. Now you need to offer these People a reason why they should decide to switch back to a little community without professional applications, questionable future. I somehow became used to open source (although I must say that I don't like the GNU/GPL much but the principles are honourable).
- How do you want to get these people when there are professional applications missing ?
- How do you want to compete with the open source community that offers a lot of powerfull programs including the sources ?
A criteria for me to buy a PPC system would depend on this.
- Why should I buy e.g. MegaCalc if I can use OpenOffice for free ?
- Why should I pay for AmigaSQL if I can use PostgreSQL or MySQL ?
Not to mention that many of these open source projects are developed by many people and many of these programs are technology wonders.
Now what impresses me is the fact that there are a lot of these programs being ported to MorphOS that I can use freely. Maybe this also happens for AmigaOS, who actually knows but for me this is one possible mainreason to get back on Amiga wether it's Pegasos/MorphOS or AmigaONE/AmigaOS. I think we all should not just change the System, we should also take compromises between a good mixture of open source and commercialism. This is the only way to get users and that is one possible future for the Amiga otherwise you will have a hard time competing with a big open source settled community better software vs. little community with commercial not so professional programs. I hope we all gonna learn and respect this one day and I see a good future for Amiga like System, no matter which as long as people understand this and right now it looks cool with all the amazing ports.
Some years ago I never thought to say words like these but it simply works. Get the community back, drop that childish behave about which System is better or not, start porting, mix it with commercialism and you see forward to a good future. |
