OS on Amiga

[lassie]

Hi what do you think is the best OS/Workbench on your Amiga?

[lassie]

Thus far I've been quite pleased with ClassicWB Lite on my A1200. I had OS3.9 back when I had an A3000, and it just felt bloated as hell, even on an 040 with 18MB RAM and RTG; ClassicWB is much lighter and zippier.

Yes you are right i got OS 3.9 on my Amiga 4000/30 but it is not very fast on mine, and it eats quite much RAM. I only have 18 mb to start with. it is nice looking i must admit, but i think i need a bigger CPU for it can run better, and some more RAM

I have Classic Workbench on my Amiga 600 Green Alien Edition. that runs quite nice :-)

I use ClassicWb 68k with 1.3 theme. I have also tried both lite and 3x on my 600. But settled for 68k in the end.

Yes ClassicWB i think is cool, it runs fine on my Amiga 600 with 4 MB RAM.
Is your Amiga 1200 still in the closet most at the time

Highly vote for ClassicWB.
You can try the version that suits you best, although ClassicWB 3.9 on 030 is okey but not the best experience.

Atm I'm using a highly customized ClassicWB 3.9 on 8 colors MWB palette on my ECS A600 (with ACA630@30) with changed iconset on all environment with MagicWB icons.
It also has latest stuff from BB3/BB4 written on a custom Kickstart 3.9 for rebootless boot
Result is really nice for my taste, and blazingly fast even for an 030!!!



Some quick video can be seen here

That looks very nice

Here's my ClassicWB on the Minimig (sorry for the link only, but it is a huge picture of the 42" screen):

This is a basic ClassicWB 3.9 screen using an Indivision screenmode (A4000):


And here my RTG version on my A4000:

(I had replaced the AMIDOCK at the bottom with a Windows style task bar and moved AMIDOCK to the left side)

Looks very nice  i wish i had that at least on one of my Amigas

@ Lassie:

Your A4000 and A1200 should get something close with a 256 colour screenmode (of course they won't get those 1920x1080 screens).  My A2000 looks almost the same, except it is a lower resolution via a Cybervision643D RTG card.

All your A2000 and the 4MB A600 will manage the same ClassicWB as my Minimig.

If you decide to have a go at installing ClassicWB and have problems then post here.  We'll help with any questions.

Here's the link to ClassicWB home page:

Read the minimum specs on the different versions and decide which on is best for you.

Okay thanks i will have a look and see what i will choose. And i am quite sure that i will run into a few problems but you all are very helpful here

No, a crack habit would probably be cheaper (and no more likely to upset the wife).:laugh1:
