The OpenDesktopWorkstation is now available for ordering directly through Freescale! It got the product number: PPC G4 0001.
The Open Desktop Workstation is configured based on selected OpenFirmware (IEEE1275) with Debian, Yellow Dog Linux and MorphOS (non-Unix OS based the Genesi Quark microkernel). An extensive application and tool suite is included with each operating system. The ODW can be used to natively build Linux kernels, root file systems, and applications. It includes attendant collateral documents and source code. The Linux kernel, root file system, and applications can also be loaded onto any target system that supports DINK32 or U-Boot. MorphOS is non-Unix based operating system and targeted at television based consumer electronics devices.

Freescale now also a reseller(!) of Pegasos Open Desktop Workstations : Comment 34 of 36 | ANN.lu |
Posted by gary_c on 15-Oct-2004 05:04 GMT | In reply to Comment 27 (agima): >>>The customer gets wat the customer wants. Agima, if I want an Amiga One with G4 and open firmware, running Debian Linux 2.6.8 flawlessly, will Eyetech be able to provide me with one?
I'm sure they could for the right price....
And what price (and time frame) would that be? "For the right price" is nice for fantasies but usually won't fly in the real world. I think the point is that the Pegasos can be bought and delivered right now (and not only from Genesi and "amiga-market" resellers but from companies like Freescale and MySQL AB). Eyetech doesn't have either the product availability or the industry connections to match, at least at this point in time. This is so obvious I don't know why any Eyetech fan would want to make painful comparisons.
