Pegasos? Wonder what made Schwartz choose to support the Blues instead of the Reds.


I don't think that's the case at all.  If anything it's a dig at the Pegasos having an identity crisis.  What is it?  It isn't an Amiga, it isn't a Linux box, or is it a Linux box?  It isn't an amiga, at least, not technically.


Technically, the last Amigas died with Commodore. Really. I am mentioning this because of the ten year anniversary. Eyetechs A1 is not an Amiga in any other way than the brand stickers (which it lacks), and Hyperion's OS4 is a new OS with (hopefully) some grade of Amiga compatibility, and some Amiga brand sticker tagged on to it. It will probably be a nice OS however, hopefully at least as nice as MorphOS. ;-)

The Pegasos is a Pegasos, MorphOS is MorphOS (even if they are both whole-heartedly embraced by Amigans). To mee it looks like it's the A1 and the OS4 that's having an identity chrisis!  :-P
MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)

It's a BSD box! :lol:


OpenBSD for Pegasos is still around, even if it won't be developed in the future by the same (official) developers (like Dale writes on that page: "Others are definitely welcome to contribute!", so feel free to continue maintaining that port ;-)). Or am I wrong?

For the "BSD" people, there might be coming some NetBSD, FreeBSD and ekkoBSD ports in a not so distant future. For others, the many different flavours of Linux might do the job just as well?

And other's are more interested in MorphOS! ;-)

Absolutely, my commission is that I get Pegasos computers in exchange for a part of my salary!  :-P  :lol:

BTW, it seems like I am not the only one buying lots of Pegasos computers!  :-o  :-o  :-)  :-D
