Which OS Would Be The Best Amiga Way Forward...

[desiv]

Good reviews...
Thanx..

Not sure I agree with this statement:

Look most Amiga users have the 4 way ide adapter in their computers

But enough people probably have them that they should have been able to test it...

But, if and this is a mighty big if, you contribute anything to Linux won't you have to share it with the public?

Not necessarily...
If you use GPL code in your code, then basically yes..
But if you write a teriffic driver from scratch for say ... a video capture card, you can release it as binary only and you don't have to share the code with anyone.

Now, binary releases are problematic and you won't garner friends in the community, but you can do it.  GPL doesn't mean everything is for everyone..

However, open source and closed source can co-exist in a system. F.X. My linux system has closed source video card drivers, and games like Quakewars

Exactly...  I have several binary Linux games that are close source as well..

er..  
(rm ~/BittorrentDLs/Quakewars_source.tgz  :nervous:  )

Yeah..

:lol:

(p.s.  No, I don't have Quakewars source...)
