So why are you even here if there is absolutely nothing positive about it?
What i mean is that the amiga os has no ground compared to Linux in these days "or any late main stream developed os" .. Linux is what you want it too be it is small or large nice gui or simply text based .. If you aren't an amiga user such as me and you from before i doubt you will be very charmed by the os as it is. We lack things such as a proper web browser or even a up to date office package etc .. We who use our amiga will defend this say we can do this and that but when you look in a wider perspective those ways aren't always more easy . What about HD video on a classic amiga computer or even dvd ? You may say you have no use for that kind of thing in your os . I will say i would rather have the possibility to see those kind of files than not.. Or for instance "real example" on my work we use windows as a os and some important way of demonstrating our work is done by a Power point presentation.. I can run that presentation in open office home and even alter some of the content but i can not use my amiga os the same way... I am also a big fan of some flash/java animation series on internet i watch it every week and have too turn too my second os in order too do so.. I would love too buy a screaming fast amiga system that would run the latest version of amiga os "4.0" or even a peggy to run morph .. But seems i cant even do this .. so logically i can not recommend a today's os user more than NONE. He will be used too running fast hardware " .. You may say try the good old ... For what too build a xxx$ system and then finding out parts of it may die any time soon. There is always winuae - E-UAE "i may add is great" but it does not run with out a host os hence not really a stand alone os....
Amiga os is great for hobby use when you have some retro insight in the platform .. we all justify it has futures such as screendrag etc but tell me have you seen a os with multiple work spaces .. Amiga was the first but now it is ordinary with similar ways that make general computing easy or not too say interesting...
It has nothing to do with me not beeing interested in amiga os i just tell the true story that i can not use my amiga for all the things i once could use it for .. The os is good as we know it but can not protect it self against the new main stream operating systems with enugh coders and money to produce new quality software with constant updates ...
