AmigaOne.....

Well,
 Unless you are a serious LINUX fan, I would not recommend buying an Amiga one because Hyperion does not even have OS4 out for Cyberstorm! That means the Amiga 1 version probably wont be released until end of Summer earliest! So, if you want to spend $1000 on a Linux box - get one. IF you want a fast Amiga environment on a PPC machine buy a Pegasos.. Genesi has Morphos in a stable state - though still "beta" with the soon coming MOS 1.4 release it should be a full public user version. Highly recommended. I'm typing it on one now with Ibrowse and its the fastest thing I"ve seen in computers.

Uhh... the thread is : Should people buy an Amiga ONE.  I think my post is COMPLETELY ON TOPIC. MY answer is NO, not right now. It is great hardware (except for DMA bugs) but there is NO OS YET.

ps Posts about running only LINUX on A1 WILL keep coming up until OS4 is RUNNING on A1. People are laying out hard earned $$ and are not informed enought about what is REALLY going on in the Amiga world and will be dissapointed with LINUX. They bought the machines to run OS4 NOT Linux (well most of them) the way Ainc talked - no talk - about OS4 is that its right around the corner and IT ISNT even close for A1. We'll see about OS4 on Cyberstorm soon I hope.

Warface: right

PMC: Elbox? You mean Mediator support and Shark PPC - I would forget about it if I were you. Hyperion has their hands full just getting OS4 on Cyberstorm never mind Shark. A1 is the next priority. Maybe a year from now for Shark Support... if Ever

 First off I never post like this. I'm just tired of the Ainc BS. I'm WARNING people about Amiga 1 reality. IF they had OS4 running on it I would be the FIRST to endorse it. Fact of the matter is its going to be months before even a BETA of OS4 on A1. THIS IS FACT. (IF ANYONE FROM HYPERION WISHES TO PROVE THIS IS FALSE PLEASE DO SO) I respect Hyperion and like them very much. They have a lot on their plate. But, I feel bad for all the poor blind Amiga zealots that believe everything Fleecy says or Ainc posts. What is it like 5 people that run Ainc from their home office or something?
 What if they cant get OS4 running on A1? Then what? All the poor believers will be out $1000. I'm going to a friend's house tonight becuase he is having trouble installing LInux on his A1. Eyetech/Hyperion didnt even supply people with a Linux installer! Ah... whatever.
  Oh, and as far as "stolen code" goes. Everyone at this point knows its bullshit. The old Phase5 guys were the FIRST to have a NATIVE PPC OS for Amiga. If Amiga INC had went with Ralph and Frank and MorhpOS for OS4 we would all be running it NOW on G4s and whatever else.. And they wouldnt be almost bankrupt like they are now!

@Hmetal
 I'm glad someone from the OS4 team posted. When you say I'm "wrong" about OS4 are you saying that it will be running PPC native on the 7th (the start of the tour) I hope so. I just want to know if that is what you are saying.

@Kay
 It was not intended to be mean spirited or a "flame post" I usually never post like that. That one guy from UK pissed me off so I ranted. I'm sorry to everyone.
 Warface pointed out I was OT. I thought I was on topic. Follow the thread...
 Anyway, I thought people thinking of buying an Amiga 1 should KNOW THE FACTS about what is happening with OS4 - not this "its coming" nonsense. Fact is Hyperion cant say when OS4 will be done for A1, they cant even say when it will be released for Cyberstorm. *notice noone from Hyperion posted to this thread* *also notice how Hyperion's name is not associated with the "OS 4 roadshow"
