Anyone using AROS/OS4/Morph as their main OS?
« on: July 22, 2010, 07:20:08 AM »
So we have a thread about using classic amiga's purely.

How about the "current" options: OS4, AROS and Morph ?

Anyone use one (two/three?) of these as their primary operation system ?

Running on what ?

Most of time I am using MorphOS on my Mac mini. Mostly coding or surfing on few sites and chatting. Occasionally I am using my Windows laptop for surfing, surfing and surfing =P

i'm using morphos on pegasos as main machine.
it's laking proper flash support but youtube work very well with html5 on OWB. IRC/RDP/SSH/FTP/AVI/MP3/Emulation/Shoutcast/C/CPP/and some gfx apps and games are ok. I'm also using it as photocopier machine using my SCANdal software with epson scanner and oki14ex printer. I used to watch TV using amithlonTV but now i'm waiting for some DVB software.

There's a flash plugin for OWB but it indeed is a bit on the slow side for instance with youtube (html5 mode is much nicer as you rightly point out). It also can't display the latest flash content.

I have always Mac mini with MorphOS on when I'm home. And in practise I do everything on it, so it's my main machine. Except some gaming on A1200. I don't use any other computers for surfing or similar, Ibrowse and OWB do the job. MPlayer for the movies... etc.

With OWB I can visit all sites I want to visit except online banking on that dull Danske Bank subsidiary.

OWB on MorphOS is quite good, always small quirks here and there (in yahoo mail text edit box is too small for example), youtube is better viewed on my laptop but I am not forced to use laptop just to view some sites. Feeling is like using Konqueror on Linux. Works most of time but not 100% perfect.

I think I don't really have a "main" machine, but at my home, the Sam440ep flex running AmigaOS4 is an equal citizen between the iMac and PC-Laptop. The classic hardware is used far less frequently, but I run Sam/AmigaOS4 almost every day.

I use MorphOS as a main OS on my two machines (Pegasos 2 and Efika). It includes online banking :-). If I'm forced to use Windows, I connect to my PC at work using remote desktop client on Efika (when at home) or Peg2 (when at work).

Yes. I use AOS4,  AOS3.9 and MOS2.5 as my main OS. When really really really something doesn't work, then I use Windows XP SP3.

MorphOS is also my main OS.  Pegasos2 G4 at home, mac mini when at work or elsewhere.

I've been using MorphOS and the Mini as my main os.  Mostly for browsing and the music.

Since I started a remote job, I am forced to Ubuntu from 9 AM to 5 PM.  Then MorphOS mostly, sometimes linux for linux stuff.

But it got broken and I cannot afford full repair.  I'm selling my machine at the moment, but in autumn I expect AROS wifi bounty to end.  So I'm planning using AROS as my main OS, until I change my job and get AmigaOS system.

This is how I see it.
Was: Mac Mini PPC running MorphOS 2.4
Now: Amiga Forever 2010 with AmiKit and AmigaSYS
Not used: Icaros Desktop 1.2 (reason: no wifi)
Planned soon: an OS4 system
Shortly then: a MOS notebook (wifi is a must-have)

I use my AmigaOS 4 on microA1 as main OS. See the classic thread for more detailed information.
