AmigaOne as only computer

[jahc]

Would I be crazy to give my PC to a family member, and just use an AmigaOne as my only machine? Surely Linux, MacOS, and AmigaOS 4.0 would be enough for a desktop computer. I just wouldnt be able to play games.. but I dont play games that much anyway. I just need a bit of Word compatibility for my studies, which Linux/MacOS would be able to provide. It was good having two computers for a few months, but I just want one computer on my desk now. I think it would be fun being non-Windows based, and it would be cool to use different alternative OS's... just need to learn a little Linux. And figure out a way to be able to read all hard drive partitions in all OS's. Probably not much chance of that? I guess if I wanted to swap files around I could just use a CD-RW..

One option for having a partition accessible to all your OSs is to create a FAT partition. This is readable by Linux and AmigaOS (using FAT 95) and probably any most other OSs too. The FAT partition can small and be used purely for file transfer.

FAT partitions eh.. is there anything stopping me from purely using FAT partitions? or any disadvantages? This sounds like the solution to my multi-OS problem. I would like to be able to access all files from all OS's.

I hope someone is able to port a recent version of MAME to OS 4.0 .. I cant wait to play Marvel Super Heroes using my USB controller on my A1. Or Marvel vs Streetfighter, Street Fighter Alpha, Mortal Kombat 1,2,3, X-Men children of the atom, etc.

Btw, can you tell what my favourite game genre is?
