Amiga is a better `open source' community than Linux ever will be.
Speaking as an amiga lover, that is boll0x.
A number of open-source amiga projects started out on linux and got ported. Open Source isn't about an OS anyway, it is bigger than that, linux is just a home for opensource which began before linux existed.
They gave us uae for starters, dvd burning software, apache webserver, mysql, php & samba which all run on many operating systems. A number of nice applications started on the amiga but how many were open-source ones that none-amiga users will know about?
When I get my latest UAE, based on linux, I will start to contribute too if i can.
Please don't come into an open forum and spout such nonsense, it is embarrassing and shameful.
Back on-topic, I had my amiga since workbench 1.3 came out and fell in love with it bigtime when I got workbench 3.0 (I missed out on v2 but used it enough to know it was special). I borrowed money and persuaded my brother to sell his A500 to buy an A1200 between us. The following year I worked 7days a week in the summer holidays to buy an 80mb HD for about £170 and my love-affair with the amiga & computing generally went into overdrive.
My A1200T with ppc awaits proof that OS 4 will come out for it and then I will SERIOUSLY consider an upgrade. In the meantime I want my core work tools to get ported. This includes firefox browser
I live in hope.
