Amiga was my first computer, and I am fascinated by its HW, OS, and its ability to still cope in some ways with all the developments that came after (CDs, the net, Mp3s, etc).  

There have been valiant efforts to modernize, but for me, the original purity of the experience is corrupted.

My Amiga obsession aside, so far, only Linux seems to offer some of that same excitement that I experienced during the Amiga heyday.  Everything else seems to serve corporate needs.

With all due respect, I think Linux sucks. Where the Amiga was rather logical, Linux is anything but.

No offense here.  What I didn't say cleanly was that I can appreciate an OS and library of apps being driven by a community of users rather than a profit motive and corporate needs.  This may be more true of Debian than other distros.  Despite Amiga being a commercial product, users made tremendous contributions to the system, usually for free.  During the 80s and 90s, it was always exciting to read of the latest developments and try the coverdisks.  The Debian community seems to have more in common with Amiga's than those of Windows and Mac, for me anyway.

I have a PPC Mac just itching for a copy of MorphOS - so that will happen quite soon too.
the only problem is, I need a bigger computer room!

Have you had experience with MorphOS, yet?

[Tenacious]

I have not had any real experience with MorphOS. Mostly just looking over some one's shoulder - But I like what I see so far.

I registered it for a G4 Quicksilver.  I will probably always keep this as possible future discovery system.  After I got it running, I realized I had been expecting something different.  I thought it would be my familiar Amiga OS ported to Apple's PPC hardware (This is my shortcoming for NOT researching it better).  The skeleton is there with all of the familiar directories (C, S, L, Libs, Devs, etc) but, none of them are populated with the OS files!  It's another kind of emulation, the flavor is there but not the heart of the OS that I've spent so much time learning.

Like modern OSes, there is a trend toward online package management.  In spite of this, I couldn't seem to find the packages that were rumored to make the experience more Amiga-like.  In the end, I lost interest, another shortcoming of mine.

The MorphOS team has made a great system, and if I get over the impact of what it really isn't, I will probably return to it someday.  

If I have missed the boat and misrepresented MorphOS, someone please point me in the right direction.
