Re: Can Linux cure my craving for AmigaDOS?

a few years ago I put Red Hat on my laptop. I use it for making web pages and several other activities and it works just fine for my purposes.

by now, it's an "old" kernal and I should get something newer. Maybe Ubuntu. I haven't decided yet.

anyway, my system is stable - it's why I haven't changed it for so long. I never have to monkey with it. it just works. I like that. I can't so everything (it IS old, after all).

And while it's not exactly like AmigaOS, it's fun. and it doesn't blow up like windows can. the weirdest concept is that everything is a "file".

save for a pegII with MorphOS. it's the ultimate next-generation Amiga experience. even more so than AOS4, which is verging more away from the original transparent/open Commodore OS design we all love
What does THAT mean and where did you get that notion from??

OS4 seems very Amiga-like to me. just like MOS, it FEELS like amiga - just faster. And just as a reminder, I have a peg and I go to Amiga meets where we get to play with an A1 - with the Latest OS4.

there's some differences, of course, but they are basically similar enough to both be Amiga. And I say this as a USER.
