....

I'm on the same boat, noob with MorphOS.  Looks good, but a lot to learn.

a few links to look:
http://library.morphzone.info/Main_Page
http://library.morphzone.info/Links#Software
http://morphosuser.wordpress.com/

(hoping to have fun and be productive with 68k & aos4 & multiple morphOS systems ... also if I manage to get AROS running well on one of my 10 x86 devices one day, will use it as well)



(((not exactly on topic, but ... I would love to see AROS distros for old HW  and/or for HW without 3D. Currently it seems distros have a lot of stuff that simply crash the system. ... Yes... buying prebuilt  AROS system would be the solution for 300eur or so. For memory refresh, what's the recommended/official forum for AROS talk/support?)))

I think previously PackChrysalis broke something on my MosBook setup as OWB started to fail with web sites secure login. Now after MOS update to 3.7 the system does not boot every time (sometimes ends up in grey screen). So, perhaps I should do clean start.

(just a little painfull to backup the data with USB1.0 speed of my old PowerBook HW. Especially when the USB is not rock solid either ((or perhaps my USB issues are only with Android devices where transfers hang with multiple files)))


Anyway I'm so far pretty happy with the 50eur HW investment (1GhzG4, 1GB RAM, new DVD drive, brand new battery+spare battery) with it's defects (no sound, weird keyboard things, etc...).
(silly how much faster it is than my newer 1.8Ghz LinuxMintDebianEdition laptop HW)


btw. licence price for those half supported PowerBooks could/should be smaller than 111eur.

@jj & yasu

More about old powerbooks:
http://www.morphzone.info/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?topic_id=9960&forum=11#111747

Home page still does not mention that audio does not work etc.

@yasu
The HW only has USB1.1.
