In a thread reply into Yahoo Groups http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amigaone/message/17027 Eyetech answers regarding these three arguments: 1)AmigaONE Shipment Delay, 2)first users must sign NDA and 3)Installation of PPC SUSE Linux on AmigaONE realized by experts who receive the charge (by the list of the developers of AmigaONE) to set up an easy installable distribution of PPC SUSE Linux. (Read More) Quoting:
--------

Anyone who ordered a developer board - dealer or end user - was subscribed to a closed list under NDA.
Several people on this list are on the closed a1g3dev list have boards and some - but not all - of them have boards.
[..]
Some people on the list have far more experience than others when it comes to installing linux.
Since the dev group voted to initially standardise on SuSE PPC Linux - and the A1 boards are NOT the same as the Teron CX boards (which run Turbo Linux) - the group decided to let a select few of the real experts to make an easily installable distribution of SuSE Linux PPC and UAE-PPC first.
The remaining dev boards have already been manufactured but will not be available until this SuSE/UAE release is finalised.
Hyperion are making good progress with sorting out the OS4 boot process...

-------------
End Quoting

I have seen it on Czech Amiga News

What's the benefit of this NDA though?
Why not just keep it to a public mailing list which is closed subscription?

In reply to Comment 1 (Budda):
The NDA means that people can't repeat what they read on the private mailing list in a public forum.
In this particular case, my guess is that it is simply designed to prevent any negative comments by anyone with enough knowledge gained from the list to be taken seriously. Positive hints seem to be leaked on a regular basis. ;)

Which of course is a major benefit, considering all the FUD talk over the last
few months. Keepin' the noise low is the best Eyetech can do now...
(and most users (=Amigans) are waiting for OS4 only and don't want to know what
the advantage in using ext3 over reiserfs may be or how to set up UAE under SuSE
PPC, so.. :-)
---
One correction to the news header though, which could be misleading.
The NDA is for those who ordered a developer board and it was ever told this way,
nothin changed. Surely they are the first 'users' too.. But an NDA for consumers
(-> end-users) would be kind of, erm, useless.., wouldn't it? ;-)
The news simply is that developer boards will be shipped to those who ordered
once the SuSE PPC installation is sorted out. Which is more of a good thing than
anything else, even if it delays the shipment for a week or two. But the boards
are at Eyetech, isn't this a positive signal? (Howerver, I will prefer GentooPPC
in dual boot once I get my (consumer) board, after I set up OS4 of course.. :)
Nothing said about the release of the consumer boards though..
Hurry up Hyperion.. ;-)

Well... that's near enough the case.
The Linux kernel needs some editing/recompiling to run on A1dev just
like it does on any other PPC platform (POP!=CHRP!=PREP!=Apple etc).
They're not offering *setup* support - we've got a mailing list for
that - but they don't expect us all to reprogram bits of the linux
kernel :-) Not everyone on the list is expert enough with linux to do
it.
Until a working installation of SuSE is up and running it makes very
little difference whether eyetech or the developers have the remaining
machines - neither of us can use them yet (although it doesn't look
like it will be too long). Eyetech wouldn't be too popular if they
started shipping £400 paperweights to us would they?

With all this NDA speak, it sounds like they've got something to hide from us.

This delay comes as NO surprise to me! I hope this makes it all the clearer why AmigaOS 4.0 is doomed and MorphOS Is the only real alternative out there. Don't you people get it? MorphOS IS the Amiga!!! Everyone who knew anything about the Amiga has switched over to MorphOS, the only people left now are the users! Amiga Inc. sees this, I see this, MorphOS people see this, the only people who don't get it are most of the people here! This is why Amiga Inc. has their campaign of FUD against MorphOS, it's because they know they are AMIGA ONLY IN NAME!!! Amigans need to unite behind the banner of MorphOS since it's the only chance we have!

You're an idiot.
Can you tell me where I can buy a copy of MorphOS then? Oh that's right! It still isn't finished. How can you make such a stupid staement?
The Amiga platform has no chance, thanks to the MorphOS team, Amiga Inc., Thendic, Bplan, Hyperion et al.

> You're confusing FUD with genuine criticism.
So writing 'Eyetech did lie to us' is a kind of genuine criticism? My mileage
does definitely vary then. Ok, admittedly, I may have over-read some really
'genuine' criticism, but don't think there was very much of it from you,
Anonymous.. Or maybe I did not see _your_ (?) criticism cause it was buried
under the FUD. I've generally desisted from reading 500+ comments
Amiga-deathmatch threads on ANN. (Pull me leg off, would you please..? No, I'm
not being sarcastic, nooo wayy..)
> An NDA is nothing more than a symbol of oppression
Sorry to tell you, really, but then you must feel oppressed by everything that
considers itself a business, not only Eyetech or AmigaInc.
Get me right, we may discuss if an NDA as such is generally good or not as good.
But as Eyetech and AmigaInc. _are_ a business and want to and need to have some
success to stay on the market, they must take some of the same measures as
everyone else. As simple as that.
After all, an NDA is mostly not for not letting the customer know, but the
business opponents. It's called 'competition', even if its not the world they
are competing for, only the Amiga market, for now.

AmigaONE Shipment Delay - First Users NDA and Installation of PPC SUSE Linux : Comment 17 of 81ANN.lu
Posted by TimeWillTell on 19-Jun-2002 16:06 GMT
If we users are the "only people left" that should explain to the MorphOS people
why it was so important to align with Amiga when the opportunity was there. In the
end it is users that will determine the fate of Amiga. We want the most continuous
path available. I do not doubt the quality of the MorphOS project, only the long
term marketabilty of another unknown OS.
The best hope for us users would have been that Ralph could have recognised our
value, but for whatever reasons he couldn't. So, when Amiga went with Ben, we
have jumped on board with Hyperion because we realize that any hope for survival of
of the OS that we "USE" lies with the succesfull implimentation of AOS4. Ben saw
the truth of this, otherwise he would not have committed his time and money
toward this end (huge risk on his part). Ralph was in a much better position to
do this because prior to his turning down Amiga there was no split.
This is in NO way a flame against anybody in the Morph camp; it is just my assesment
of the situation as I see it. What many people think is a fanatic fervor on our part
has nothing to do with an anti-Morph stance, but rather a very realistic
understanding that economic survival is much more difficult than having a good
product. If we go out and spend our resources on another "cult computer" we
damage our ability to maintain continuity with our "USING" of our equipment.
I sincerely want the best for all of the people who have worked so hard on the
MorphOS, but we "USERS" need AOS4 so that we can continue in this direction.
Thanks once more to the likes of Ben, Alan and Bill.
I will be at Amiwest again this year. Talking to Bill in person is always very
interesting. It adds a very reassuring feel to things as they unfold in these
very tumultuous ways.

BECAUSE THEY KNOW that MorphOS depends on it right now, they're deliberately delaying MorphOS so they can fragment the dieing market further!!!! The law suits only prove Amiga Inc guilt!

Amiga Inc. couldn't open source the AmigaOS because of patent issues, simple legal fact. Why MorphOS? Surely if the OS was opensourced we would all compile our own free versions and make our own improvements? There'd be no need to *buy* MorphOS.

Watt Commodore they are dead,
AInc owns the source code and this is way they not going to relies them,
they have an product of there own, they simply don't wont to pushed a side,
You know they invested heavily on the technology, way should they give the
competitors an free ticket in the market, do rely thing for one second morphos
will share there source code with AmigaInc, Way are they not using the Amiga Name,
they are simply not interested to even support the Amiga brand,
by offering some money for it.
Watt is MorphOS it's an Kickstart 3.1 clone, with some morphos PPC binaries of there Owen
this is way Open Source Amiga programs are recompiled for MorphOS,
and this is way there are MorphOS versions of 68k programs.
AmigaOS4.0 goes beyond this and adds new functions, we my be waiting longer for some it,
how ever i think it will be reworded in the end, if i had allot of money i by Pegasus and AOne.

The only advantage MorphOS has is it runs on current hardware and it's sorta available now. However it's not really much further than being a 68k/warpos/powerup emulator + bits of aros.
Although if MorphOS takes the l33t kiddies away from the Amiga then it might work out for the better, so yeah "M0rph0s rul3zzzz".

Seriously, Kjetil! I don't usually complain about the spelling of others, especially when they're writing in a foreign language, but come on!
I think we could understand you better if you turned OFF your spellchecker, which transforms your misspelling of every third word into another word with a completely different meaning.
> If AmigaOS4.0 fails, there are no releases way we are not going MorphOS,
I have no idea of what you're trying to say here.
"Watt"what, obviously, but this:
> AInc owns the source code and this is way they not going to relies them,
"Way"This way? Why? "relies" = release...
"there"their (and it's just as annoying when native English speakers can't master the spelling of even those very fundamental words)
"wont"want, "a side" = aside.
> do rely thing for one second morphos

Incomprehensible! It hurts looking at it.
"there Owen"their own. Your spellchecker capitalising "Owen" didn't help.
"allot"a lot, "by" = buy
If your spellchecker doesn't offer reasonable suggestions for misspelt words, then please turn spellchecking off. You're not making any sense, and the text I'm trying to read is more irritating than its intended message.

Speaking of delays and NDA's doesn't mean that OS 4.0 is doomed. That's a pretty big leap. If only people took those leaps from buildings, there wouldn't be as much FUD being thrown about.
> Amigans need to unite behind the banner of MorphOS since it's the only chance we have!
Coolio, that's the funniest thing I've read today. I'm glad MorphOS exists as it's created some fine reading material. I just hope you're not marching about in uniforms while you're carrying those banners ;)
Until MorphOS and AmigaOS are available for comparison in the areas of feature set and compatibility, everything is speculation and grandstanding. If you want to run Amiga 3.1 apps on your MorphOS box that is fine by me, but making statements like "it's the only chance we have" make yourself look like a mentally unstable zealot.

ANOTHER likely excuse. You wanna-be Amigans think you know the truth, but you DON'T. My Athlon 2200XP is more of an AMIGA running MorphOS than you sick devil incarnates tired, old technology! This is why Amiga should release Workbench and Kickstart into the PUBLIC DOMAIN, so MorphOS can run classic applications on ANY HARDWARE and thus renew the Amiga spirit once and for all!!!!!!1!!
>Speaking of delays and NDA's doesn't mean that OS 4.0 is doomed.
YES IT DOES! If Amiga had anything THEY WOULD SHOW IT! Screenshots of HDTOOLBOX does NOT count! LOL!

YOU Amigans investing in Hyperion and their VAPOR Amiga 4.0 instead of MorphOS on PC HARDWARE is JUST LIKE LEAPING FROM A BUILDING!!

I AM GLAD MORPHOS EXISTS TOO! We NEED an alternative to the stranglehold Amiga Inc. has placed on the Amiga market!!!
>Until MorphOS and AmigaOS are available for comparison in the areas
Then MORPHOS wins already, because there IS NO AMIGA OS 4 while ANYONE can use MorphOS! Your argument is FLAWED, just like your faith in Amiga Inc!!!!
>of feature set and compatibility, everything is speculation and

They could always stick 10 zealots from various camps in a forum and vote them out weekly.
It would be as compelling as that pish Channel4 serve up.

Coolio, I can see the foam around your mouth and the vein popping out of your head from here. Degenerates like yourself are not worth communicating with. I suggest you get back to goose-stepping around waving your MorphOS banner. I'll enjoy running OS 4.0 on my AmigaOne, you can enjoy your mythical winged horse. I do recommend you see a doctor to get that mental problem looked at before you hurt yourself or someone else.

>>Okaaaaaaay, I hope you are taking your pills.

Someone please tell me this is a joke, :(
OK mr CAPS, maybe YOU'LL understand me BETTER now?
I REALLY hope THAT YOU are TALKING about that VERY old BETA, which times OUT regularly, because IF you ARE actually involved in the MorphOS PROJECT then heaven HELP THEM.
>>Amiga Inc. couldn't open source the AmigaOS because of patent issues,
>ROFL! If YOU believe this then I have some prime real estate in SWAMP COUNTRY >for you!! LOL!
WHY shouldn't I believe THIS? It's THE TRUTH. Amiga DON'T own A SINGLE Amiga patent, Gateway STILL own THEM ALL. Also SOME important components SUCH as ARREX belong TO third PARTIES. AMIGA can't LEGALLY OPEN source AMIGAOS.
>>simple legal fact. Why MorphOS? Surely if the OS was opensourced we

Why NOT? SOMEONE could PORT AmigaOS to PPC for *free*, and put NICE stuff ON it. Maybe if THE MOS team had SPENT less TIME bitching AND MORE time programming, it WOULD be done BY now.
AmigaOS hasn't NEEDED to BE RUN under MorphOS before, WHY does it suddenly NEED TO now? If YOU are refering TO the QUARK microkernal, that IS a moot POINT, as NOTHING actually TAKES advantage of it yet, and won't FOR a long WHILE.

Oh boy ... another thread that has disintegrated into a discussion about MorphOS vs AmigaOS4.
Silly me. I thought this thread was "Eyetech answers regarding these three arguments: 1)AmigaONE Shipment Delay, 2)first users must sign NDA and 3)Installation of PPC SUSE Linux on AmigaONE ..."
No wonder everyone who knows the truth about the AmigaOne is under NDA.

''Ralph is the incaranted spirit of Jay Miner! You are not even worthy to type his name!''
HA! I LIKE the Amiga License!!! It makes sure that you wanabe wankers will stay OFF our Amiga's!!!
It's better this way! ONE Amiga, if they didnt restrich the hardware, there would be a new motherboard 2/3 times a year and it would kill the amiga community because they would get faster and faster and code would get bloated just like linus and m$!
one motherboard to rule them all, one motherboard to FIND THEM, One motherboard to upgrade to, and in the darkness BIND THEM!!!
If you want your stupid hardware choices and stuff just use linus and winblows! Amiga was made good so you dont NEED fast CPU to be fast, well never need more than a 600mhz cpu because AMIGAOS4 OWN3Z J00!
With just 1 motherboard, we can say its a real amiga not some clone wanabe wanker hotrod hacker computer! this is why amiga are dooing the right thing! only real amiga people will buy it and thats good because we dont like you linus longhair freakypeople or you winblows micro$loth users!
the license keeps us pure, because only us real amiga users will ever buy one!

>everyone who wrote good software for Amiga went to MorphOS
I've not bothered to re-check it, but a few months ago I counted far more higher support for AmigaOS than for MorphOS.
List Amiga SW companies that has abandoned AmigaOS, please. The list is very very short (0?).
>Commodore won't open source Workbench and do you know why?
Because Commodore is dead since 1994.
The reason why Amiga Inc does not open source WB/AmigaOS is because they want to do business with it.
LOL! What a great representative of the MOS cult. ;)

It isn't the only way, MorphOS is only one of many ways. Coolio, cool
down!
> Commodore won't open source Workbench and do you know why?
Commodore? Where have you been? There is no company named Commodore.
Oh, you are talking about Amiga Inc.?
> Commodore won't open source Workbench and do you know why? BECAUSE
> THEY KNOW that MorphOS depends on it right now, they're deliberately
> delaying MorphOS so they can fragment the dieing market further!!!!
Oh, it can't be Amiga Inc.'s fault that MorphOS people were using
Workbench sources. Hey, and the MorphOS people are always stating that
there is no AmigaOS source in MorphOS. So you are talking bullshit.
> The law suits only prove Amiga Inc guilt!
What are you talking about.
> Ralph is the incaranted spirit of Jay Miner! You are not even worthy
> to type his name!
Dream on, Coolio, let's go Kindergarten.

>I think we could understand you better if you turned OFF your spell checker,
No there will be more errors.
>which transforms your misspelling of every third word into another word with a
>completely different meaning.
True and this because the spell checker don’t se words that are correctly typed.
>> If AmigaOS4.0 fails, there are no releases way we are not going MorphOS,
>I have no idea of what you're trying to say here.
“releases way” shoed have bin “reason way”,
and the reason way you are bit angry is that I have not done my best, and it’s a bit true,
my excuse is that I was were sleepy and that I’m Dyslexic, I usely read true on to tow times before I post.
"Watt"what, obviously, but this:
This is not the spell checker this is me, tank you for correcting me.
> AInc owns the source code and this is way they not going to relies them,
> "Way"This way? Why? "
Now you are being an prick.
>relies"release...
This is the spell checker , fail to find the error
>"there"their (and it's just as annoying when native English speakers can't master the >spelling of even those very fundamental words)
>"wont"want, "a side" = aside.
I’m not speaking English natively, this you picked up.
> do rely thing for one second morphos
will share there source code with AmigaInc, Way are they not using the Amiga Name,
Incomprehensible! It hurts looking at it.
>"there Owen"their own. Your spellchecker capitalising "Owen" didn't help.
The spell checker is Aspell as home, It’s not so advanced as MS word spell checker.
>"allot"a lot,
I was correcting “alott” to “allot” , tank you for correcting me.
>If your spellchecker doesn't offer reasonable suggestions for misspelt words, then please
>turn spellchecking off. You're not making any sense, and the text I'm trying to read is more >irritating than its intended message.
Some types wont have been detected, then many this mistakes wont be corrected add with the typos that I have fixed, the hole comment cud have bean a mess.
...
PS. Some times I hate to be reminded butt this is constructive, no need to hide you’re name.

Well, well, well...
When I passed such news from Czech Amiga News I was wondering that if a posting quarrel will set up, it will be regarding:
Pegasos -> Yellow Dog Linux
Amiga One -> SuSE LINUX
SuSE is a well known distro, easy for beginners of Linux (me too) and in its complete form is composed by no less than 7 CD...
I know nothing about Yellow Dog Linux...
Is someone out there who want to stop this ignominous fight which puts shame upon Amiga users and start to made a comparison between this two distros, enumerating pro and cons?
And regarding AmigaOS4 and Morphos 1.0...
Until I will test both, I don't want to incline myself for any of the two contendants...
Maybe one or both will be good... but I can also decide that both sucks if they don't accomplish my expectations on about a decent OS...
So stop cackle as weirdo crazy ducks, take a breath and be back human beings...
Bye,
Raffaele
