Linux+browsers

[kas1e]

one year ago, i install on my a1200/060 + mediator/voodoo3
debian3.0 (if i remember correctly) (68k version of course)
But in past time, we do not have any video drivers for a1200 mediator (for a4k as i remember somebody was wrote driver for voodoo). So, i try it on aga. (framebuffer was supported too). Console browsers like a lynx and a links work perfectly of course (textmode) That about x-window - i setup it in 256 colors on aga, and run netscape it's work but, too slowly. (but work If anybody will write driver for a1200 mediator/voodoo3 - i think it will be fast. (maybe driver was writed for present time?)

take a look here for example:
http://people.debian.org/~cts/debian-m68k/woody
and here:
http://www.linux-m68k.org/debian-amiga.html


cpu version does not matter for it, just downloading 68k version, and installing (install.txt or readme.txt can give you way of installation).

btw, it was work really stable for me. But as i know debian not supported amiga now, so maybe best way try to NetBSD ?

if i remember correctly, in Amiga_mediator@yahoogroups.com i was found message fomr akowalczyk@cogeco.ca. btw,check it:http://www.ppa.ltd.pl/forum_ppa/read.php?f=1&i=6534&t=6507

but of course, it is only words, i do not watch any public drivers for mediator/linux.

slow, but it work. if we will have driver for mediator/voodoo3 for a1200/a4000 it must be fast and good. As i said before, i run on AGA in 256 colors Netscape and Mozilla on 060. And problem only with video speed.
