Linux?
« on: March 17, 2006, 09:34:09 AM »
Hi Everyone,

I was wondering what sort of functionality one could get out of an Amiga running Linux.  Take a 4000D running on PPC 604e (read that as Max Classic PPC hardware), mediator equipped with voodoo3, sb128, loaded with RAM and all that good stuff.

1.  What Linux Distros could be installed?
2.  Once installed what sort of linux software could be run, do you even get a GUI?
3.  How would it compare in performance to a similar spec PC running linux (is a 200Mhz Pentium in the same ballpark?)

My motivation for asking is because I want something to do with my miggy until the Amiga "supporting" pseudo-companies pull their fingers out.  Also I was wondering to what extent I would be able to tap into the pool of Linux software available i.e. Open Office and Firefox.

Thanks guys.
