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 6 of 36 | ANN.lu |

Anyway, the current Pegasos model, and the flora of any future design that might materialize (or not) during the upcoming year or so, could certainly be used in all thinkable ways. I think you know perfectly well what AmigaOS/MorphOS strenghts and weaknesses are. When Linux is not suitable, use MorphOS. When MorphOS is not suitable, use Linux. Use the application and its needs as a starting point, and put together a solution based on that, with a selection of hardware, OS and programs to suit you the most. ;-) |
