DCE: Further photos of the Pegasos II online : Comment 33 of 63 | ANN.lu |
Posted by BrianK on 21-Oct-2003 16:30 GMT | In reply to Comment 27 (Olegil): Supported OSes for Apple?
Let's take a look at what PegasOS offers and see if there's an Apple PPC version?
(People I'm not trying to attack PegasOS but just using the list on their site to see what other Apple PPC OSes are out there.)
AROS -- can't find one thier page but I can't find PegasOS either.
Knoppix -- can't find one thier page but I can't find PegasOS either.
NewOS -- Apple planned just like PegasOS.
OpenBSD -- Apple port exists PegasOS doesn't appear listed.
QNX -- Doesn't list Apple but lists Marvell, may work on PegasOS.
FreeBSD -- Apple port exists PegasOS doesn't appear listed.
NetBSD -- Apple port exists PegasOS doesn't appear listed.
OpenBeOS -- Apple planned just like PegasOS.
OpenDarwin -- Apple port exists PegasOS doesn't appear listed.
Zynot -- site's not easy to find anything so we'll leave that be.
LinuxPPC -- Apple port exists PegasOS doesn't appear listed.
AmigaOS 3.x --- UAE Emulation
MacOS9 -- Classic Mac Emulation
MacOSX -- Native
Now your question was Offically supported OSes. Apple Offical support is for MacOSX. Other OSes are 'officially' supported from their respective organizations. As such some of this support, same as it will be for PegasOS, is via News or Email groups rather then a direct organization. I find it hard to believe that PegasOS will support all the above OSes the same way Apple supports MacOSX.
The point is if Amiga is making a PowerPC operating system and, as if Perite claims think that an extra 5,000 users would be a huge miss for Amiga why not simply extend this logic and port to the Apple PowerPC platform instead? The potential number of users is far greater then the potential 5,000 that would be gained by doing a PegasOS port. Don't get me wrong if Amiga or Hyperion arranges to do a PegasOS port more power to them and I hope they do well. But, if I were Amiga and looking at alternative platforms, outside of the AmigaOne, to port to the Apple PPC platform would be on the list of places to consider. |
