sTix: There's no reason to hate Linux. Give it a try!
I tried eight versions. I've finally come to the conclusion that I hate it. ;-)
Sorry, man. Linux doesn't come close to the satisfaction level of AmigaOS, even if it IS more competent, technologically.
It might make you appreciate AOS even more!
No, it'll just make you yearn for faster, cheaper PC hardware to run it on, and just how much easier it is to get into CLI and Workbench, instead of Bash, XWindows, and Gnome. You should buy an AmigaOne for AmigaOS, not Linux.
