The X-Amiga installer CD is nearly finished, if you can wait a bit longer. (There's a website too...)

The installer only asks for simple things: CPU, graphics card, etc. The Linux installation is taken care of automatically. It now uses tiny X (much smaller than xorg-x11) rather than DirectFB.

I've found booting is incredibly fast - half the time is taken up with the BIOS hardware check.

If you prefer the Windows route, you could try http://www.litepc.com/98lite.html

I've got it, it works well - but I no longer have any Windows boxes ;-)

I'll announce X-Amiga properly as soon as it's finished. Don't want to be accused of anything 'vapour'-related!

@ Gulliver:

Sounds as complicated as Linux... You should write an installer! :-D

@spihunter

Not just yet - I'd like to finish everything first! Until it's finished, it's just 'vapour'...
