was working it would have been out ages ago, for like running LINUX etc..

Here is my translation of the part of ACP (www.amiga.com.pl) interview with Elbox. It is about Linux on Shark.

RS: Why have you not presented Shark in action? Did you manage to run Linux in Shark?

MB: We are not interested in the Linux market at all. Linux users have at their disposal a much cheaper and equally effective platform for this system, that is the x86. I believe that such processor cards would not be interesting for Linux users. We are determined to focus on the markets, which ensure real demand for our products. That's why the decision not to start producing SharkPPC cards before readiness of the AmigaOS4 system for boards based on G3/G4 processors. Our private talks to persons related to Hyperion indicate that adaptation of the AOS4 system for AmigaOne for the needs of SharkPPC cards should not take them more than several days.
