It is my understanding that the base Linux dirstros do not support the AmigaOne Board (perhaps BIOS issues) but that a port has been done (for nearly all PPC Linux distros) and that works fine.

Not BIOS issues: the board is so new they haven't yet realised it exists (in some cases at least). Remember, there's no commercially-distributed POP motherboard out there yet.

Wether these ports are feed back to the original distro or even made publicly available has not been stated ...

Why do you think the beta testers are doing, if not (among other things) working on producing ports of the various distros that are to be made publicly available? And officially supported?

Which one is the correct statement, Compuquick or SUSE?

Compuquick.

Either that, or I and a number of others have been hallucinating for the past month.

And yes, Mac On Linux does run on the A1. There was a news item about this recently. With screenshots.
