Thanks for the advice folks! As i was saying, Kickstart versions ain't what i'm after, since i don't intend to use the Workbench at all on this one..
I have been visiting the amigaunix site for quite some time, and it does have some very useful info gathered, but it hasn't got the "flexible" forum-type conversation thingy i need. Talking directly with people who had a hands-on experience is very important!
Yeah, Amiga.org is THE place for advice. Lots of information gets posted quickly.
