Hyperion completes the AmigaOne firmware based on the GPL’ed PPCBoot project.

I deeply hope Hyperion can succeed, and produce an OS that is fast, usuable, and as wholly PPC-native as is possible. Silencing the many naysayers who have bombarded us with "can't be done" and slights on the coding abilities of Hyperion would be so sweet - so very sweet.

Don't worry about the booting. With no memory bottlenecks, a G3 CPU, and UDMA hard drive, an A1 will very likely boot in under ten seconds even with a very rich graphical interface. Don't look to the Windows world for comparisons - Windows and Linux totally squander the power of their machines. AmigaOS4 won't.
