I'm New Here and to Amiga - Please Help...

[dammy]

Sorry to hear about your family medicle problems.  As far as Amiga and it's different incarnations, the one thing that has yet to be brought up as a alternative is AROS that can run on just about any cheap x86.  Even an old 233 MHz system feels snappy with AROS.  There will be a major distro released called AROS-Max sometime before Xmas that has significant improvements to floppy, file system and GTK<->Zune(MUI clone) wrapper.

I'm not a Dev, but I was referring to the next major release which will be AROS-Max 0.5.0.  That's being slated for pre-Xmas with the floppy controller rewrite (thanks to Ogun), SFS as default file system and hopefully the GTK2<->Zune wrapper as well alot of smaller bug fixes and improvements.

AROS
An Amiga-like operating system that will run on any PC. Will not run any Amiga software unless you use an emulator.

And the one thing that sets off AROS from the rest, it's a free OS.  Free download, and free to share with no expensive hardware to buy.
