Things in Amiga
« on: May 17, 2010, 06:03:04 AM »
Hi, i've been trying to check out magazines and articles on the amiga but I still can't seem to find what i'm looking for. I've used Windows and various *nix types but i'm a bit confused as far as the Amiga goes. I have a few questions to start with and was hoping you guys might help me out. For instance what is Directory Opus, and Workbench. I get workbench is the AMIGAOS or i thought. I downloaded Amikit to go with my Amiga Forever and it uses Directory Opus and doesn't look that much diffrent from Workbench. Is it just another Window Manager or Shell? That and how is the file/directory structure in Amiga? I've tried to downloaded some programs to install and I can't find the files. The one I did find, (I downloaded 303tracker from aminet, i'm a electronic musician so naturally i wanted to check out the audio software) and when i tried to install it, it said i didn't have enough harddrive though i had about 2 to 4 gigs of space.

I actually do plan on buying the real thing, or atleast a modern clone like the sam, i'm currently deployed in Afghanistan and can't buy one until I get back. I happened to see the Amiga Forever website while reading about paula. I'm not quite sure what to buy right now though. Should I search for a 1200 or one of the new sam440's. Not sure which should I buy. Is AmigaOS 4 good or should I stick with 3.X and etc.
