Your reasons are very valid ones, and I might have done the same if I hadn't been very lucky. But now I have a Pegasos with a choice between Debian and a very Amigalike OS, MorphOS, and it's like having a compromise between the hardware power and reliability of a PC and the usability of Amiga. I'll be staying with this a while, I hope. For me, using Windows for recreation was never really an option I could stomach.
