Title: OSNews covers MOS & Peg
Post by: System on October 09, 2002, 12:56:31 PM

Mike Bouma writes about MorphOS and Pegasos

Also here's a screenshot of MacOS X (http://web.afua.asso.fr/OSX-Pegasos2.png) running through Linux with Mac-On-Linux (http://www.maconlinux.net/) on the PEGASOS.

That was a very great article. Where did you get those screenshots from? :-) I never seen them before on internet.

I got the screenshots from Thendic-France.

I'm glad you liked the article!

Great article, no bashing, just good things with constructive critsisme (sp?)..

And, the speed comparison is good to, stating that an old 600Mhz isn't such a bad thing at all...

If the companies involved would bring it like Mike did things were much more clear then usually. Most of the time you spend searching the net for the right kind of info. And then you also have the outdated info.

I don't know about you guys, but this whole Pegasos and Morphos seems more real and exciting than OS4. Just my opinion right now :-)

An excellently written aricle, Mike. Balanced and unemotional, it's an example to other reviewers.

@MikeB

Great article and good work as always....

I'm thinking of starting a Mike Bouma Fan Club :-)

So far Mike has been a much more accurate and reliable source of information than the "Official Channels".

I`m impressed, it needs only 5 seconds to boot :-)

I hope we hear also news from the AmigaOS 4.0 side.

Well, hmmmm
what a quandry

This type of news certainly makes me rethink the 600MHz G3 speed / lackof speed issue.

Bodes well for G4 boards also, provided a "nerd afficianado" can keep bloated OS's off the thing.

Yup. Good article.

@5 sec boot time: One win98 installation of mine does that too. Its mainly a question of a fast hard disk.  ;-)

Hmm.. My W2000 takes several minutes to boot,
I dont have a particulary slow HD I think..
Whats wrong (besides the obvious) ?

u have a pretty rare pc if it boots in 5secs btw ,
a reboot /boo is FROM u flick the switch and till its BACK in the OS
and not from a selection screen :)


anyway next topic.... the big question is, how hard is it to install LINUXPPC/MOS/and MACOS onto this pegasos? ,
will it take an normal user 3 years to eventually have it booted like on this picture (linux+macos) , but then also MOS we would like....

bashing software is for the people who loves it (i do) , but when it comes to linux, heh i dont :)
 
why not just make a pegasos bios boot option to boot into MACOS ? ;D (guess mac would have gone crazy then?)

the world is not enough, thats why i use amiga .P

I must admit that Morph OS looks kinda nice, oooh I can't decide now ;)

Can someone clarify if MorphOS runs on top of linux or will just boot straight up on the Pegasos?

@Syraker

MorphOS has absolutly nothing to do with linux (or have you ever
seen a linux booting in 5 sec  ;-) ). It's based on the "Quark"-kernel,
a 68k-emu and a PPC-native reimplementation of the AOS-API (A/BOX).

My WinXP's boot speed is roughtly 25 seconds(Bootvis optimized)(roughtly with >8 applets loaded i.e. Norton Antivirus 2002, Norton Utilties 2002 applets, PC Health III applet, WinFast VIVO, Soundblaster Live applet, Ethernet monitor applet, USB control applet, mixer applet, nVidia applet, and 'etc' ).
