Uhh I look forward to spending money on an outdated PPC machine!
PPC is history, I already have a PPC amiga.....
anyway this is so 1999.

But x86 is modern right, even though it was one of the first architectures to be developed? The ppc is actually a rather new architecture and quite a few modern stuff use it, including the wii and the xbox 360. I do however believe that it is a whole lot more expensive and less available than lets say x86.

How is Ubuntu like AmigaOS? I am running it on my x86 pc, but i find it nothing like AmigaOS at all.

BTW no xbox360...I don't care for it. Quite a but slower than what the ps3 has. I don't have one of them either... No need to spend money on toys, have plenty clasisc amigas!

Funny you say that, as it came out one year earlier and yet most of the games that exist for both platforms runs actually better on the xbox 360. The ps3 sounds all good theoretically, but so far it has not lived up to the hype in real life perfomance.

You are right, ubuntu it is so much better than amigaOS ever was or will be. Good point. \

It is probably better all over, but that is not so odd considering that AmigaOS has not been developed for years until OS4 and thus it lags behind with some features like memory protection, multiuser and similar. It still does has quite a few advantages over a linux distro like ubuntu though. It is much more responsive, needs much less resources, boots very fast, datatypes and it makes actually more sense with a drawer for drivers, folder for monitors, printers and so on.
