Hyperion/A-EON introduce us to the AmigaOne X1000. A new beginning?

yes I have just bought a N300 wirelss router that does practically 270MB but I am not taking about cables I am taking about the network plugs that use the electrccitiy sockets much much better solution than wireless for desktops.
 
Wireless is great for portable devices but pointless for permanent desktops

I agree with you, I networked my own entire house (5 rooms) for about £150 using ethernet over mains plugs, yes i have WIFI but that is firewalled from my network and purely used for internet access.

As no Amiga (or Amigalike) OS has any any WIFI support better than WEP (which is so easily hacked its a joke) you might as well not bother with any security.

I just drilled holes. Nuff Said ! Then again.....there is awful lot of Cat5e running round the house

My house is ex RAF solid concrete construction, When I did some rewiring it took 30 minutes to get through one wall with a big professional "Hilty" drill, so the less holes I have to drill the better

I think its pretty damn funny that over on the other Amiga sites its all dancing bannana's and everyone screaming saviour and here its one big MEH!!!!!!  
Just a funny observation!

I think its most probably down to a realism here.

All we have is a web page stating some of the system specs, we've all seen these before and I personally am sitting in the wait and see camp.

If/when this board is released even if it does have a dual core CPU then i doubt that the second core is supported, as rogue stated that this is something that is to be looked at after MAP(which I presume is this board). How long this will take is anyone's guess, but as I stated earlier in one of these threads that OS4 for Sam was released in September 2008 and Hyperion still haven't delivered a USB2 driver, which i imagine is far simpler than adding SMP support.

As for the XMOS coprocessor, is it going to be like the FPGA on the SAM - useless?

I think its time I called the RSPP (Royal Society for the Protection of Penguins), because some of you guys must really be abusing Linux, I have 2 machines here running that haven't been reinstalled for 2-3 years they just keep on going. I've upgraded the versions and all my application and data are available immediately after upgrade. I had to did into the forums to sort out the wifi on my netbook in earlier (8.odd) version but that work straight away now. My oldest install (OpenSuse 9) is probably over 6 years since it last had a boot CD near it.

Everything with a programmable processor (not necessary Micro) must be a computer, since when did available IO dictate whether a machine is a computer or not? A phone or a watch or even a central heating timer if it contains a programmable processor is a computer. Otherwise the server under my desk which only has a power lead and a network connection could not be called a computer as I can't use it without access to another device that does the IO.
