Ubuntu user here, looking at getting in to Amiga
« on: October 09, 2009, 03:08:29 PM »
I used to love my Amiga 600. It was the best machine I ever had, it was constantly full of new surprises. I remember laughing at people who had PC's at the time, now look how it has all panned out.

Currently using Ubuntu Linux. I accidently bumped in to some screenshots of Amiga os4.1. I might be interested in getting back in to Amiga in one way or another a bit later on.

Can I ask some really annoying questions that probably get asked all the time.

1) How viable is Amiga os4.1 to use as a main machine?
2) I read somewhere that Firefox is available for Amiga os4.1, is this correct?
3) Does this handle flash as well?

One thing I am not 100% sure on. I use Dreamweaver and Photoshop using Wine in Ubuntu. Is there anything similar in Amiga OS4.1 that allows you to accasionally run a Windows app.

Finally what sort of hardware is required, to get back in to Amiga.
What is performance like?

Thank you in advance
