It really, really depends what you do, pal.  Linux is good for C-coders (love that term).  But if you use your computer for other work, you're fried in any case equally.


Really? I've been a Linux only user since '98 and I can do everything I want with Linux, faster and better than any Amiga Like OS, Windows or MacOS.

Getting back on topic:

Can I ask some really annoying questions that probably get asked all the time.

1) How viable is Amiga os4.1 to use as a main machine?
2) I read somewhere that Firefox is available for Amiga os4.1, is this correct?
3) Does this handle flash as well?

Thank you in advance


1: You're going to miss your 'buntu box.
2: Nope, and it's going to take a while, people are still waiting for other ports like Blender. OWB is a good alternative though.
3: Not in a way you would like.

Why not try E-UAE (it's in the repo's) or AROS first? There's also MorphOS, IMHO a much better choise.

All the Amiga flavors are fun as a hobby OS, nothing more nothing less.
