What kind of system resources would I need to get this running on a classic system. I have a 600 with 25mhz, 32mb accelerator.

I am afraid that's not enough. A1200 or A4000 with 68060 is recommended. Check this document: http://amikit.amiga.sk/download/misc/documents/AmiKit_on_real_Amiga.pdf

Just received my download links via email and was surprised that there was a link for Mac, as well as the Windows and Linux links.

Great work Jan!

I hope you will continue this project long into the future.  It is by far the best implementation of AmigaOS3.x on non-Amiga hardware.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

I figured it might not. But didn't know if I missed a kind of "light" version that would go on it. But no matter as I will be installing it later today, after getting some sleep, on my laptop. Might even get round to doing a review of it if I get a chance. ;)

There isn't any light version or official version for 'real' Amiga. Only the guide I mentioned before. Sorry.

DITTO!
  I'm replying using netsurf though.  Never used it so I thought I'd put it through the paces :) Anyone know how to resize the screen and have netsurf refresh to the new window size?

This truly is amazing!  I'm going to try to setup my programing enviroment in it to so how well it will work.

I physically altered the preference file as resizing doesn't seem to do anything. Just set it to something like 1280x800.

I just tried it. It is awesome.

Anyone else thinks Amikit gives us an idea of what Amiga could be like today if it still existed? (excluding OS4).
