Title: COMPUQUICK'S AMIWEST 2002 UPDATE
Post by: System on July 26, 2002, 02:43:33 AM: Hello fellow Amigans !!

Just a brief note for all of you who will attend the Amiwest 2002 Show in Sacramento this weekend.

At our booth we will have a demo of AmigaOne G3-SE
running Suse Linux !!

This we are able to bring to you at the encouragement of Alan Redhouse and the intelligent hard work and cooperation of Adam Kowalczyk of Ontario, Canada. A brilliant developer and a true Amigan.

Please come in large numbers at the show. We will have all your other Amiga products on sale and the AmigaOne G3-SE on demo. Something that we have all waited for for so long.

Again thank you for your support as always and LONG LIVE AMIGA !!!

How about a demo of Amiga OS 4.0? you got the board, so whats the problem showing Amiga OS 4?

It's really weird to see that there are shows like AmiWest and neither EyeTech nor Hyperion or Amiga Inc. shows Amiga OS 4.

After all - I thought Amiga was trying to make some money.. by showing the Amiga OS 4 as it is - as much unstable as it is - there will be tons of people who'll be delighted to see it and buy the vouchers/cupons..

Hi
I had contacted SUSE and its distributors about buying SUSE PowerPC Linux for Amiga One board. Their offcial reply:
"SUSE only run on APPLE PowerMac, iMac, iBook. SUSE PowerPC IS NOT compatible with AmigaOne. You have to buy APPLE products!"
Which one is the correct statement, Compuquick or SUSE?

BTW: Is it possible to run Mac OS 9 (using MacOnLinux) and MS Windows (Bochs + CrossOver) on SUSE PowerPC for AmigaOne?

Post by: newbee on July 26, 2002, 11:12:26 AM: It is my understanding that the base Linux dirstros do not support the AmigaOne Board (perhaps BIOS issues) but that a port has been done (for nearly all PPC Linux distros) and that works fine.

Wether these ports are feed back to the original distro or even made publicly available has not been stated ...

Regards
Darren

I believe it is not ready. I mean a beta that is worth to show. Otherwise they would do that.

Not BIOS issues: the board is so new they haven't yet realised it exists (in some cases at least). Remember, there's no commercially-distributed POP motherboard out there yet.

Why do you think the beta testers are doing, if not (among other things) working on producing ports of the various distros that are to be made publicly available? And officially supported?
:-D

Compuquick.

Either that, or I and a number of others have been hallucinating for the past month.

And yes, Mac On Linux does run on the A1. There was a news item about this recently. With screenshots.

The "official" distro has no (not yet?) AmigaONE support, but anyone can make an unofficial distro which does run.
If you would like to, you can make an unofficiql distro which runs on a beefed up C64, but if you would contact SUSE they would still say the above.

I don't see why not.
