Cost of an EIFKA system for AROS
« on: December 07, 2006, 05:03:27 PM »
In my search for a new alternative to the impending horrors of Winsnows Vista, I am curious as to what I would need to get an EIFKA system together to run AROS for example.  I am curious as to how much it might cost as well.

Not sure if this post should be here, but this is where I landed with it.:-)

Don't know to much about price, though it will be much cheaper than any Amigaone (not really comparable anyways).

As a system I guess you would need the Efika, a hdd or a flashcard, some ddr-ram, something to put it in, and a small (to match the efika) powersupply.Don't remember the site but you get these really nice extremely small psu's somewhere. Not sure if you need anything else..

but anyway what I really wanted to say is that using Efika and Aros really won't make an alternative to Windows Vista if using your computer to everyday-stuff. Aros is a niche os on a hobby-level (for now).


That is what I figured but I am keeping options open and the like.  Thanks.

     Thanks for letting me know that.  If I am going to run Linux, I have the latest version of Knoppix ready to go for my Celeron box.  And it may come to that.

Does AROS run on EFIKA?

I do not think it does yet.  But I was just looking at it as a possibilty.  It also gives me a benchmark on the cost to run MorphOS as well
