The only things I would need would be:

-Browser that works with Gmail, Google docs.
-PDF reader (for resturant menu's ;) )
- Movie player like VLC
-Bit Torrent clinet w/GUI
-Simple image editor.

Why do you say you "would need" them? I´d expect all of it to work on MorphOS, since all the people here keep telling me MorphOS is so much better than AmigaOS 4 and none of it is a problem on AmigaOS 4.

I don´t have any MorphOS experience - so enlighten me, if I am wrong.

However after two years of using a SAM440EP Flex running AmigaOS 4 as my main machine. I recently bought a new PC for that purpose. The Sam isn´t completely retired and it was sure fun during those two years, but I simply wanted to use a faster machine that would take new sound- or gfx-boards without any trouble.

I am the kind of person that really loved the original look, feel and organsization of Workbench. I never looked at the early Dopus and disliked popup-menus, focus follows mouse, autoraise or anything that would take away my icons. This was the reason to get the SAM.

If somebody made a Linux-Desktop-Environment  and toolkit that would imitate Intuition & Workbench to the last detail, I´d walk some extra mile to use it. That being said Unity is not bad, but extremely buggy and Linux won´t see my blueray drive at all.
