Saying that however, if you go the AmigaOne route, you can dual boot with Linux & OS4. This will keep your foot in the door with respects to future AmigaOS developments as well as having various Office like Apps available for Linux.


He can use Linux dual boot on any one of the three machines. The A1, however, still doesn't have a Linux kernel with a fix for Articia UDMA issues, and isn't ideal for this purpose.

Wishmaster means the suspiciously unamigalike changes that have to be made to Amiga source to get it to compile on OS4. This is because of their replacement of vector tables which is unwieldy and unnecessary. The Friedens have simply talked away any objections to this system, but they have been told about it.

The conception of many coders outside OS4 (and I don't mean just MOS, I mean AOS and AROS coders too) is that OS4 is a conceptual mess, and isn't getting any better. Anyone who knows how to code can look at code of OS4 ports for examples of weird changes made for OS4.
