| AmigaOS on Tour 2003 : Comment 53 of 86 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by zeigerpuppy on 19-May-2003 11:00 GMT | Well, here we go again.
I say any news that says we're getting close to the showdown of Amiga like OSs is great. Well done MorphOS, well done Amiga Inc, well done Bernie, well done AROS (keep in there). As for comparing to other, more common OSs, here's my 5 cents worth:
Linux: Well, I run an FTP, Mail, Web Server and I wouldn't run it on anything else - easy to install but a bitch to debug, you really have to know it inside out and there's too many ins and too many outs - I like it but the gui is slow and it'll take too many years to master. So, it'll stay on the server and I'll use something else for my workstation.
MacOS X: Nice layout and functionality... as always I hate one button mouse, I hate being treated like a fool (thanks for the command line, finally!) and it still wastes the ridiculous amounts of horsepower they throw at it... I think Amiga/Morph OS could win some converts here if they can really show off the G4s (then again, Apple fans are as much zealots as Amiga fans!)
Windows NT: Well, first of all, go no further than 2000, I would say NT but it lacks USB. I hate Microsoft as much as the next person but there are so many apps and, really, it's the easiest one to maintain and run..... until, that is, it all falls in a heap and has to be reinstalled (for a user which experiments a lot I give it 1 year between installs). The thing that really sucks is that the apps have to reinstalled too (even though I keep them on a separate partition).
Running backups, the only solution!
AmigaOS: Admittedly, I haven't used it for a few years and I did know it back to front... but.. the system made sense and was sooo easy to debug (oh, Snoopdos!). When compared MIP for MIP, it made 680x0 apples look extremely sluggish - will this still be the case with G4s? Even though I run hardware SCSI RAID (don't call any other type RAID, or I'll slap ya) I still haven't got the flexibility I had with the boot menu and 3 system partitions on Amiga. The PC Bios is a joke, basically. And I like the basic OS in ROM/FlashRAM...
But apps, that's the problem. To be honest, I think that Amithlon/AmigaXL was the way to go... why reinvent the wheel, linux and Amiga could be very good bed partners indeed. OK, so you want the OS to be sitting bare on the hardware, well, that really doesn't make so much sense when portability is the name of the game. Nevertheless, I look forward to purchasing the first Amiga like system that has Dual G4... variety is the spice of life and my system at least will run Linux, AmigaOS, MorphOS, MacOnLinux.... maybe all at the same time! (Don't say it can't be done!) |
