I have released a snapshot of SliTaz PPC Linux for the AmigaOne X1000.
(http://www.xenosoft.de/slitaz-ppc-x1000.jpg)
SliTaz GNU/Linux is a free operating system working completely in memory from removable media such as a cdrom or CF card or USB key. It is light and speedy. SliTaz is distributed in the form of a initrd.gz that you can easily burn to a cdrom or copy to a CF card or USB key and boot from. When the system is running you can eject the LiveCD or USB key and use your CD drive or USB socket for other tasks. SliTaz PPC is in development yet.
The snapshot includes:
- BusyBox 1.21.1 and SliTaz base configuration to boot the system
- automatical network configuration at boot time
- bc-1.06 - Text mode calculator
- zlib-1.2.8 - Compression libraries

CFE> ramdisk -z -addr=0x24000000 -fatfs cf0:slitaz10.gz

Snapshot 22 with AmiWM 0.20.48 :)
AmiWM is an X window manager that tries to make your display look and feel like an Amiga Workbench screen. It is fully functional and can do all the usual window manager stuff, like moving and resizing windows. You can start AmiWM with the script "startamiwm".
The script "startamiwm" contains the following command:
Xfbdev -retro -mouse mouse,device=/dev/input/mice -keybd evdev,,device=/dev/input/event0 | xterm -e amiwm
