I havent went through my services or anything else to see what I can shut off to save on CPU cycles.


Without doubt, Linux can run very efficiently and fast on *much* weaker HW than the Efika. Not those standard desktop distros though, who can become quite bloated if you don't pay attention.

In fact, I'm a bit "disappointed" that we haven't seen special streamlined, purpose oriented distros from Genesi yet. Like a thin client setup, a streamlined desktop setup, a server setup, etc. Internet installation from the OF prompt, specially adapted and optimized (all overweight cut off) and precompiled for the specific hardware.

Note that when I say "disappointed" I'm not actually disappointed. I know that Genesi has worked hard to bring the Pegasos and Efika hardware into the official support trees of various distros, which is *great*! What I'm talking about is the next step.

Maybe that would be best handled through a community effort?
MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)
