While they mention that MOS is pre-installed there, I'm assuming they'll not be concentrating their efforts on MOS stuff. (that's to be expected of course from a linux distro). So, while it is nice that Amiga-ish hardware finds it's way to people outside of the community, do you think that this is of any good for the Amiga platform in general? Or is it a sign that Amiga-like OSes just doesnt cut it for the 21st century?

In reply to Comment 15 (Damien):
Hell...it sounds great. But....we have win 2000 pro at work and it sucks baaaaaaad. Out of 20 machines in the hangar Friday at work only 4 were operational. Our IT budget is outrageous....but then...that's why Bill Gates is a genious isn't it. How can you make money on an OS that just works...look at SUN bleeding money. Solaris is so rock stable that lots of companies are still running 15 year old servers because nothing is wrong with them and they just do the job. No wonder SUN is going broke. Bill makes money the old fashioned way....by selling crap to idiots. My linux box runs and runs and guess what! I loaded the OS off a Linux Format disk! Virtually no money and a rock stable system. I have to agree that linux will never make it...it's too good and doesn't cost much at all. Maybe OS4 and MOS should look at windows and do like MS...but oops! They don't have a monopoly! I guess maybe they'll be able to make a few bucks on the fanatics like me that still like to relive the exciting days when computing was new and fun.
