Pegasos/AmigaONE confusion.

@kedawa

If you want to be able to run OS4, your choice is limited to the AmigaOne or a classic Amiga with PPC accelerator. There is no plans to port OS4 to any other platform. There is also no plans to port MorphOS to the AmigaOne.

The reason I want to know all this is that I want a computer that will let me play with as many exotic OS's as possible.

If that's the case then your choice will be very easy. Buy a Pegasos II PPC board. The AmigaOne is only supporting OS4. There is a handfull of Linux builds for the AmigaOne, but they all suffer from a lack of DMA support and this will not change ever. The Pegasos II has numerous *nix distros with full official support and MorphOS. Other OSes like QNX are rumored to be just around the corner

By the way, welcome to Amiga.org. Please note your questions may be a hot topic and may start some bickering. Everyone has opinions and are very opinionated:-)
