As i have my a1 i can tell you what it is like so far with only debian linux to run and uae with liciesed kickstart roms it is not that much difrence from turning my pc on and running linux, only linux on x86 hardware seems more upto date and better. A1 has a weird bios i would not even know what some of the settings mean or do .A large full sized board like my asus pc motherboard .What i will say is this bbrv has spent more time answering questions and getting software and hardware support for the pegasos and even upto date websites with a professional layout. + there will soon be a a 1gig cpu card at the moment i have just an 800 mhz g4 cpu with no news of any upgrades and with morphos being suplied with all boards you have a proper os to use with updates going on all the time so you can use your amiga software .the mini atx board is great for fitting in many retro computer cases .I myself do want a pegasos 2. My a1 will be hardly used until os4 comes out with the pegasos i could be using it now. so well done to bbrv who must spend hours in forums getting to know the people who will buy there boards and os. :-)
