Can Linux cure my craving for AmigaDOS?

Why not get a PegasosII? It runs Linux and MorphOS, which is an Amiga like operating system itself. You can use Radeon cards up to the Radeon 9250 and even 3d drivers are there. I have to admit that there is a way bigger developer community for Linux x86 than for PPC Linux.

The PegasosII Motherboard with 1 GHZ CPU module costs $499/€415 according to Genesi's webshop. At least you had to add a case,psu,Ram,Mouse and Keyboard to the setup, if you already have CD-Rom, HD and a VGA Monitor.
