Well, lets just raise the bar a little bit ;)
Here on my Peg, there are six Boot options:

two linux flavours:


nothing special, just a plain Suse kde desktop


this is Ubuntu, with gnome desktop

two mac os flavours:


the classic Mac OS, it is installed as my favourite party game, You dont know jack seems not to work properly with the classic part in OS X


Well, just OS X ;)

and finally two err, Amiga flavours:


MorphOS 1.4, with latest Ambient and so on, seen on several screenshots ;)


Yes thats right, this is a screenshot from a plain OS 3.9 Installation, and my Peg boots directly into it ;)
The intersting thing might be, contrary to molk, the underlying os is here not linux, boot indeed a stripped Morphos
(it is about 5 MB currently, and still has space for removing stuff) thus is booting pretty fast into uae ;)
However, as there is no PPC Jit for UAE everything is a bit slow compared to the real 060 Amiga I have here, not to speak
about X86 UAE Setups. Nevertheless it is working, it is fun and hey who knows perhaps I will boot into C64 one day too ;)

And maybe some day the OS Versions of Solaris and BeOs are available for the Pegs too, so I am sure my Bootmenu will grow ;)

amigadave:
Sorry, I am afraid its a bit far, I am from Germany, this would be a huge Trip
just for a Pegasos visit ;)
Regarding the Peg, this month it is 3 years since I have a Peg (*sigh*, as time goes by ;))
started with a Peg 1, upgraded to a Peg2, and never regret it.
It is a nice little machine and MorphOS is fun too :)

Kronos:
The "runner" got lost, cause I once forgot the old passwort and
somehow didnt get the password reminder working.
Well was to lazy and simply registered a new account
(Is a while ago, IIRC the old Bladerunner which I never
used anyway is now gone)

Regarding 3.9 yes it is running inside UAE, cause if
I would run it directly on top of MOS, I would loose
AGA and such, it is actually just for gaming and fun
purposes (but I think I will downgrade to an ordinary
3.1 again, 3.9 is a bit problematic with some games
