Can Linux cure my craving for AmigaDOS?

Another vote for Ubuntu.

Linux can be almost as small as AmigaOS (see Slackware/DSL) or as big and bloated as Windows (see SuSE/Mandrake). I find Ubuntu to be a nice midway point, combining a nice simple interface with a powerful underlying OS. I think you will enjoy it as an AmigaOS user.

A few years ago I would have agreed that Linux is less user friendly than some other operating systems. Getting hardware or software to work used to be a nightmare.

However, Ubuntu makes it really easy to get new hardware working and has an excellent package management system for installing new software.

BTW, Ubuntu has a live CD version so you can try it out without committing to install it.
