How to say this...Amiga OS functions nothing like Linux.

'Take something already up todate (Linux distro) stuff away everything you don't need, repaint, polish, put some glitter on it'  -so it's really that easy? I want an Amiga that functions like an Amiga, not a themed gnu/linux box.

'they both boot as fast' -how do you know this? My Amiga boots up one hell of a lot faster than windows or my Ubuntu install.

'both has equally snappy UI' again it does not exist, so how do you know?

'You think you can tell the difference' the difference is not just the skin, it's what is under it. I find linux file system inelegent, and the UI and fundamentals too technical. I do not find this with the Amiga.

Another question is : just because it never has been done does that mean it can't be done?

Dunno Manu, i'm not sure how much of gnu/linux you could change, and still have it run all that software. Where are the Linux gurus? (yeah, Runequester you!) can the fundamentals of linux be changed that heavily? or would ir cease to be linux? or just an akward hybrid of the two?

There was a project that aimed to be an amiga like linux, was it anubis? not sure.

Anyway, you'd be better off altering BeOs/Haiku, as it's Amiga like to start with.
