MorphOS is a very nice system, Ambient the user interface gets updated almost daily and is making great progress. If you don't like Ambient there's also Scalos wich is pretty good and very Amiga like.

Shogo, Heretic II, Wipeout, Quake 2 and Freespace run very well, no problems on my system. There are also other games like Quake III, Hexen II and Virtual Grand Prix available.

E-UAE runs most demo's and games fullspeed on a Pegasos, the speed of E-UAE is about 50% of a stock Amiga 4000. The waiting is for JIT to make the most of it.

Most Amiga programs run on MorphOS as long as they don't make use of the custom chips of the Amiga. I'm running TVPaint, Directory Opus and a lot of other Amiga programs on my Pegasos.

And yes it's true there's not a modern browser or office packet available for it but that aplies to all Amiga's including A-One and OS4. But there's hope, KHTML is just around the corner :)

It's even possible to run OS4 programs on MorphOS but I have not tried that because IMHO there's no need to run OS4 software on MorphOS.

The Pegasos II board itself is pretty nice and supported by various Linux distro's, I'm running Ubuntu Dapper Drake myself.

I kinda feel that Pegasos is the right Amiga platform. Though in my deepest dreams, Classic Amiga with ColdFire is the thing, but it will never happend ;/

MorphOS is AmigaOS. It`s got the feeling, its MUI based and has an active Ambient developing theme.



I kind of agree with you there :-) Not Because I own a Pegasos but because I think the Pegasos/MorphOS combo is underestimated because it hasn't got the brand name. If you want a next gen Amiga system now, the Pegasos/MorphOS is the only way to go.

And yeah a Coldfire in my A4000 would be nice, but unfortunally it would never happen :cry:
