AmiWin or Amiga Linux users out there?

Haven't (yet) tried installing Linux on an Amiga, but I have used Linux for a very long time (I began using Linux back at kernel 0.97 on my shiny new 386SX). A major factor in installing any form of Linux is the distribution you choose. If you get one that's put together well, it can be as easy as popping a CD in and clicking a few buttons... or it can be a hardcore intense series of bootstrapping and compiling programs. Google and find what distributions exist for Amiga. That should be your first step!

Of course, the more Unix knowledge you have, the better.

I will have an A2000 with a 68040, lots of RAM, and a flicker  free video card in it soon. I may try out Debian for Amiga, just to see. I'll report back as well.

Ive been running Linux since I installed the 0.97 kernel, back when you had to compile basically any software you needed. Let me tell you, compiling a Linux kernel on a 386SX with no math coprocessor is a serious commitment! I've also used Linux professionally since 1996, so I'm pretty educated on the subject after many trials by fire.

Hopefully thatll make it easier for me to install Linux on an Amiga, and maybe be in a position to then help other people here who are about to try it.

That or I'll scream loudly at the stupid computer
