Linux+browsers
« on: December 26, 2004, 09:30:43 PM »
Anybody has some experience with Linux on the amiga?
I have a A4000D68060/233 and a Amiga68040/40 to try this on.
Most interesting is the browser part.
Is there a version with flash support etc for a linux version for amiga?
And what version is best to install?
Are there any recent install guides out there?
I have already traced it down to debian but what version for my 68040/40?
Anybody?

All thanks for replies.
But I still don't know what version to use.
Debian for 68K? what version is most modern?
LinuxAPUS for Powerpc?what version is most modern?
And is there or is there not graphic card support?
What browser and what version would work?
Will I be able to see flash/java etc...
Or will it all be so slow that I better not bother?
thanks....

I have two amigas 4000.
One desktop with CyberstormPPC233/68060 with mediator+voodoo.
And the other one is a A4000T with a picasso2 and a IV-24 as flickerfixer.
I also have a retina Z-3 to put in here but system is now not in need of a monitorswitch and with the retina it would this is why I stick to picasso.(great card btw)
So would linux have drivers for these systems?
thanks...

If only I could move the mediator bus board to the A4000T!
This is an original tower of amiga technologies so this will not fit.
But for now I was thinking of trying linux on the A4000T which has a cyberstorm (68040 on 40Mhz) and the picasso2 and 80 Mb on board.)
Surely this is powerful enough to try linux?
But what to install?
Debian version number?
Does it contain the picasso driver?
