Duck! Newbie aboard.
Thanks Pebbles for asking the questions that have been troubling me these past few weeks and thanks takemehomegrandma for the answers that got me to sign up. Looks like a good vibe here (yeah, I've seen the occasional flames here and at the 'other' site, I prefer to lurk for a while before I sign up ;) ).
I'm still not sure which system has my preference, and who knows, if they're both good I'll probably buy both. The only thing worrying me about MorphOS is that I'm not quite sure why I'd want a few dozen OS'es for the Pegasos, and will all this porting be at the expense of MOS development in the long run?

That porting is not done by Genesi itself, but by whatever parties want their OS's on the Pegasos.  It's how to subsidize OS development, by selling Pegasos machines to non-Amigans.  (Heck, I have one friend that's waiting for the OpenBSD port to be finished so he can buy a Peg2 for his home router/firewall.  And try out MorphOS and see what it's like, thereby getting him hooked and corrupt him to become an AMigan, muahaha)

And is anyone working on/can point me to a compatibility chart of old miggie soft which'll run on the Pegasos?

Morphzone.org has a nice forum where people try out various programs, and give how well they worked.

Anyway, good to finally be here, somehow posting on a site with amiga in the domain name makes me all warm and tingly again. Now all I need is a new system :-D
