That's right, I'm unpacking my new AmigaOne board which just came in today, and preparing to put it in the decked out case I've had for months!  I'll let you know if I have any problems!

What?  No?  What were you thinking?

Guess what I'm doing right now??

Hmm wha'... WHAT !? That's disgusting !  :-x ;-)

Oh, I see, have fun with your new big toy.... :-D  

[amigamad]

Nice to know you have got your board you should get it up and running easly, im not keen on the ppc version of debian linux i used it for a while and now im just waiting for os4. :-D

[DaBest]

Luky you....Darn.. I still remember the days I unpacked my ColicoVisioonPC, my C64, my A2000 then I went stupid and unpacked an IBM486DX/33 then repacked it and then unpacked my A4000/040 then unpacked my P3/550 then unpacked my Athlon1.7gz.......an I am very sure my days of packing and unpacking are not over yet.

Have fun unpacking and keep us up to date.  :-D

I bet you`re posting on Amiga.org? :-)

[Warface]

Congratulations :-)

Hope you will have fun with it. And don't listen to them, LinuxPPC is not THAT bad. It's far from being AmigaOS alike, but a decent OS nevertheless. UAE however will be like starving rations.

Congrats, dude! :-)

[xeron]

Congrats They're nice machines, i don't regret buying mine one bit, but its crying out for OS4 ... :-D

Congrat's on your new Amiga, Marky.  I'm looking forward to hearing what you and the rest of the AmigaOne folks say about their machines.  I am waiting  for OS4 to come out before buying one, simply because I know absolutely  NOTHING about Linux and the other operating systems.  Keep us posted.  Regards.....Art :-D

[shIva]

congrats ;-) though i´d prefer the pegasos.
/me is looking forward to unpacking it :-D

This is one of the smaller rewards of havign lots of kids and a president who likes refunding excess taxes!  Hopefully I'll have everything up by tomorrow evening and I'll post from it then!  (Using what as a browser?  Dunno yet.)

[Wolfe]

I think you are going to have too much fun.   :-D

[downix]

I was thinking that I'm typing this out to you from Voyager running on my Pegasos and going "ya know, at least I can run Amiga apps."

Well, you *did* ask what I was thinking.

[Athlon]

cool

Sorry I haven't answered back with how much I enjoyed my new AmigaOne BUT.........
Truth is, I've spent the last several days  kicking, swearing (OH DARN!) and throwing things at it.  I kept thinking "I'm not that stupid, and installing LINUX can't really be that hard!," but every time I got to the second install disk, I got a bunch of error messages and a "retry" option.  Finally, figuring that I'm too smart and a simple install cant fool me this badly, I e-mailed Forefront Technologies.  Less than 24 hours later, I received the mostly good news:  I am too smart.  Installing Linux is not that hard.  The CDs in this batch were corrupt.  New ones are already on their way.  Good service, I say, although I still will have to wait to see my Amiga in action.  Sob.  Sniffle.
