Pegasos to ship without MorphOS

[anarchic_teapot]

A somewhat terse announcement by Thendic via PenguinPPC.org states that the Pegasos will ship as promised from Saturday 1st June... but without MorphOS, only Yellow Dog Linux.

I agree with DaveP. The non-mention of MorphOS is certainly odd, but Kronos is right in saying that may simply mean they didn't want to confuse the Linux geeks. I should have put a question mark at the end of the title.

What puzzles me is that penguinppc.org is the only place I can find confirmation of the Pegasos shipping. Weird. You'd think all the Amiga forums would have had the info sent to them as well, since MorphOS is supposed to be an Amiga emulation.

Stop Press - cancel the question mark. Neko, one of the MorphOS team, has just confirmed that the board is going out without MorphOS.

I entirely concur with his comments about a Linux-only PPC board, but you never know. Best of luck to them, anyway.

Why should the Yellow Dog Linux website announce anything about "the other OS"

Penguinppc.org is a generic website for all Linux distros running on PPC boards.

The Yellow Dog site (Terrasoft) doesn't even seem to know Pegasos exists. Of course, it may just be insufficiently frequent updating.
