And I quote: "At long last there is a simple and easy way to try out Linux on your Next-Generation AmigaONE X1000  without resorting to entering long lines of unintelligible code. You  can run Ubuntu Remix in Live mode straight from the DVD, or if you wish,  can install it to your hard disk drive alongside your AmigaOS 4  installation with the simple step-by-step installation guide. The Live  Ubuntu Remix DVD is the culmination of many months of work by the A-EON  Technology Linux Support Team, a small, dedicated group of international  AmigaONE X1000 beta testers and owners from the UK, Eire, Germany,  Australia & New Zealand. Not only is Ubuntu now easy to setup and  use on the AmigaONE X1000, the custom Linux Kernel includes full 3D  hardware support for series 4xxx, 5xxx and 6xxx RadeonHD graphics cards.  Also included on the DVD are the necessary development tools to enable you to compile your own kernel. Five unique A1-X1000 Linux Desktop backgrounds have been especially created for Ubuntu Remix DVD  along with SuperTuxKart 0.8 AltiVecâ„¢, a free 3D kart racing game which  has been customised for the AmigaONE X1000.

Selection of software included on the DVD plus access to thousands of  additional free & commercial packages from the Ubuntu software  centre:

  Libre Office Productivity suite:  Writer wordprocessor, Calc spreadsheet, Draw, Impress presentation and Math packages.
