I'b be interested in getting a new PPC system (as opposed to a PPC card for my old machine) and have noticed that there are currently two real choices: An AmigaOne/Lite or a Pegasos II.


Wayne suggested you go to a number fo sites to make comparisons. I suggest you also spend some time over at amigaworld.net. It's like being in entirely different parallel universes when you read at amiga.org and amigaworld.net.

I try to read at both and distill some sense of reality out of the whole Amiga situation.

That being said, I  admit to owning an AmigaOne already. Never had a DMA problem. Never had any trouble with it at all, really, except munging up Debian through my own lack of Linux knowledge.

Wayne,

The distinction between these two sites (which really doesn't exist) is exactly why I recommended to Mingle that he completely ignore the inherent politics and personal opinions.


Of course, to get that recommendation, he will already have read through most of the replies he's received here. The "which really doesn't exist" might be getting a little closer to reality in the last week or so. But there's still a strong "hint" at whether red or blue is better at both sites.

Not to mention that some of the "official" A1 news is hosted at amigaworld.net.

Hooligan,

Yet both sites seem to lack those "hundreds and hundreds" of A1 owners defending their purchase. Go figure.
A bit sad really if the people from market of 600 outmatch the market of 2-3 times more people.. the Amiga spirit seems to be gone then.


And to think that Wayne told me further up the list that the alleged differences between the sites were really non-existent.

Glad to do my little part to make A1 owners more openly represented at amiga.org

BTW, what is the "Amiga spirit?"  Incessant arguing?
