Sorry I haven't answered back with how much I enjoyed my new AmigaOne BUT.........
Truth is, I've spent the last several days kicking, swearing (OH DARN!) and throwing things at it. I kept thinking "I'm not that stupid, and installing LINUX can't really be that hard!," but every time I got to the second install disk, I got a bunch of error messages and a "retry" option. Finally, figuring that I'm too smart and a simple install cant fool me this badly, I e-mailed Forefront Technologies. Less than 24 hours later, I received the mostly good news: I am too smart. Installing Linux is not that hard. The CDs in this batch were corrupt. New ones are already on their way. Good service, I say, although I still will have to wait to see my Amiga in action. Sob. Sniffle.
