Why shouldn`t linux be covered ? It`s an OS that can run on both the A1 and the Peg.


Just a personal thing.  I don't like it (I installed it on my PC back when the AmigaDE SDK was released).  It's not Amiga-related, there is reams of Linux information and dedicated mags available elsewhere if you need it, and the space could be better used elsewhere.  

If you want to extend the magazine to cover all OS's that can potentially run on Amiga/Peg hardware then you'd have a Linux68k/LinuxApus section, LinuxPPC section, Mac OSX section, Mac OS8/9 section, AmigaOS section, MorphOS section, AROS section, and then there's the dozen or so OS's in the process of being ported to Pegasos... Heck you can even run Windows if you want using VirtualPC or Bochs.  

I would just prefer it if the mag kept to covering OS's that are actually Amiga-compatible (MOS, AOS, Aros...) as this is what I'm interested in (and I guess most others too) :-)

Will Issue 0 be available to people who cannot possibly be at the Benelux Show? :)

True, if you're going to be giving issue #0 away, why not make it into a PDF file people can get from the downloads section? it should be good advertising if nothing else...

If you haven't guessed by now, I live a bit far from Benelux  :-P

Nifty.  Best of luck, fellas.  Makes me all nostalgic for back when I gave a rat's keister and scurried to a nearby Borders to pick up Amiga Format after work to keep up on all things Amiga.  SIGH!  :-(  Oh, well.  BTW, decent logo, too!

Amiga.  Wish the world could have known.

... and so far it seems that no one has discovered a striking resemblance of the mag's logo to the old CUAmiga one. The only difference is the small circle with ".org" inside which previously was placed on the left side. Oh, and to write this comment I've used a pair of difficult words that are possibily wrong spelled and that probably no one will ever understand what I wanted to say :)

This must be the best news I've heard for years. It's a  fact that no matter how easy the web is to access, people still prefer a printed magazine  :-)  

Hope everyone will do their best to support this!

Good initiative !
Would be good to have a good computer mag. regularly again.  Used to have all kinds of Amiga related ones but since the Amiga magazines dissapeared I never really fancied picking up a computer magazine from the newsstand, let alone take a subscription on one.
