Are there any decent distributions that will run on a m68k based Amiga? How about PowerPC systems?
I have two Amigas, one high and one low end. I have
A1200
- 2MB Chip 4MB Fast
- 020/881
- KS3.1
A1200(T)
- 2MB Chip 192MB Fast RAM
- 68060/603e PPC
- Mediator
- Indivision
- Voodoo 3 2000
- ATI Radeon 9200
I can provide better specs. Both machines have HDDs of course. Looking for a Linux/UNIX that would happily live on both (doesn't have to be the same distro).
Any suggestions?
NetBSD is probably your best bet these days, but I'll be up front with you now: Any Linux/bsd you manage to get running on an Amiga (which is no mean feat in itself) is going to be hopelessly out of date and dreadfully slow.
Honestly you'd be better off dropping £50 on ebay and getting a shoebox PC, the software will be more up to date/usable and it'll have the advantage of more modern distros that are a whole hell of a lot easier to install.
YMMV, of course.
