A1 inda house!

I am happy for you. Hope it will work allright (with your chosen memory modules and stuff like that). I am looking forward to see your first post here on amiga.org from that A1 (in linux (and of course even more from OS4)) and I hope that you are able to put together some kind of a review and post it here. Try to make it as unbiased as possible and include your personal reflections and feelings from different stages (opening the package, putting the HW togehter, turning the power on and installing Linux, bootin linux and using it, and so on) ...

I just feel a little bit sorry that you can not use it as an Amiga at the moment. But that will hopefully change in the near future.

Personally, I will soon be home to my Pegasos With MorphOS, hehe ...  ;-) :-D

BTW, how much memory did you order? I got 512 MB, and GOD was that an overkill in an Amiga envireonment!!! ;-) I had been away from Amiga for a while and was kind of used to the wintel boxes standard when I placed that order.

Well, at least I have a nearly unlimited RAM: drive! :-D  :-D

I'd like a double-G4 but there isn't any reason aG3 wont compete nicely with my demands (mainly to set up mp3s of my own music+video swipes/titling)
while i primarily use standalone devices for all my actual recording/ editing/ mastering
Octamed (together with even some slight hardware back) is still extremely powerful by all standards.

Processor power is of course nice. But everyone doesn't need a rendering-farm-kind-of-super-computer, and you (as a normal user) would actually be surprized by how far you will get with a G3 @ 600 MHz in a PPC native Amiga envireonment. :-)

do you take your name from that Nirvana song?

Nah. It's an emotional feeling I have from time to time.  :-o  :-D

boot /pci/cd boot.img  ;-)  ;-)  ;-)

Anyway, I hope you will get that problem sorted out. No fun when you encounter problems the first thing you do when you just bought something new ...

I got Suse running. I am trying to get KDE installed. At least my gfx card works under X. Allthough sometimes it shows strange output, even in the console.

Cool. Keep it comin' :-o
 

Yeah! Cool!  :-o
