Ole-Egil's Debian GNU/Linux on A1G3-SE screenshots

@olegil,

Mixed emotions here.  

First, thanks for supporting Amiga.org -- I know I tend to be on the negative side, but I guarantee Wayne and crew deserve a round of beers for all they put up with.  I know I'm tossing my hat in the "$5.00 per month donation" hat.  I'd hate to be stuck with the likes of ANN as the sole source of news and commentary. (no offense intended to the owner of that site, just the rabid visitors).

Secondly, I find myself feeling both glad to see *something* running on the overpriced, underpowered PPC solution, but dismayed to see it's only Linux, which I'm running on at least one box here...

It's hard to get excited about seeing something that you know can easily be done much faster for much, much cheaper.

When OS4 is running on it we will be happy. At least wih Linux there is something running on those boards.

Sorry, I thought that's what I said.  Maybe with OS5.0 is running, we'll be happy, but Linux doesn't excite me.

And it might attract some Linux freaks to buy the board.

Very optimistic, but also very doubtful.  As I said, most Linux users are fine running much cheaper and faster hardware.  Only those who have a strong, irrational hatred of Intel would be even remotely interested.  Of course, if Mac's OSX ran on it, it'd be an INSTANT hit for the masses.
