Amiga User Turns to PegasosII

[kd7ota]

I myself have actually turned down the PegasOS at one time of course. But I now am tired with all problems on all various platforms of computer. Linux... You just need glasses that are about 8409384093 inches thick to know how to maintain if it breaks down. Windows is great, but yet too many viruses are out there and without a firewall and adware remover, your computer is pretty much slow and useless.  Amiga... A great machine. Just too bad hardware for it costs too much. I want to have a PPC setup just to toy with and use an Amiga going that fast.

I have two PCs now. One a 2500+ barton core and my other a 2800+.  Does great and gets the job done, but I want an OS that would run JAVA, play a few choice games, and run an email client, then I would settle for pretty much ANY OS just as long as I can do them things.

PegasOS might be an alternate choice for me to do. I want to first use it before I would consider buying it.  

Too bad Amiga and Genesi just teamed and make PegasOS even better....

Yea, sorry man. Just remembered it from awhile back when someone told me about it, they spelled it PegasOS.

@Cymric

Sure I have gave it lots of thought before stating you need glasses several inches thick.  Reason besing is because the average windows user will never know what to do when it breaks down.  I went to change a piece of hardware, and it never loaded the GUI ever again.  How are they going to know how to install even the nvidia display drivers? You have to go in and edit commands etc..... Sorry, no windows users will ever comprehend that.  Sure they can read books and learn, but sorry, they just dont have patience to do that.  If you can make it a drag-n-drop process, they will go do it.

Yea, I understand that you have them to be just workhorses for a few things. Not trying to badmouth any OS really. I have an Asus A7N8X-X board which as the Nforce2 chipset. Its fast and gets the job done just right.

Yea, I been putting thought into the Pegasos board. They do look nice and are nice n compact.  I just want an OS to do a few things really. If they could get a few applications over to MorphOS, them I would definately go over with it.

1.JAVA
2.Instant Messengers by Yahoo! and MSN.
(I know that Jabberwocky exists, but I like the fancy features that the official clients offer.)
3.A 100% up to date webbrowser like IE or Netscape or even Mozilla.
4.A few choice games. (Counterstrike, Quake III, unreal tournament.)

I know its kind of a lot to ask for an OS, but its what is used alot just anyways.  Even though they release new PC games, i am not near interested in them. The older games are fun to me and its all I want to play.

We will see how things turn out. Until them, i am going to be stuck in the world of PC Windows XP.  :-D
