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?

Freescale donates 10 PegasosPPC machines to Gentoo developers : Comment 7 of 24 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Ronald St-Maurice on 11-Oct-2004 13:57 GMT | In reply to Comment 6 (Anonymous): Here's a small list:
full memory protection
multi user support
translucency/alpha?
hardware OpenGL
an Outlook clone
GUI builder and Visual IDE
standardised UI window (open, save, find, etc...) AmigaOS HIG?
proper SATA and SCSI support
software RAID support (found on PCI EIDE controller cards)
an up-to-date web browser like Firefox or something based on KHTML
security audits (to see where could there be breaches)
Bottom line: it's a lot of work and would break most applications. But it's still doable. |
