I don't thinks it just Alan.
I'm not interested in AROS or MORPHOS and I'm not going to pretend I am. I'm sure you doing a great job and your a great person. Nothing personal I'm just not interested either.

Edit .... mis read a post
THat's fair enought, but may I ask what it is about AROS that doesn't interest you?

Without being funny, but most (yes/no?) people who want OS4 have at least a passing interest in AROS... if for no other reason than it's free and makes PC's work and look nice :-)

Yes I am interested in OS4, However, Matt I must fall into the minority category that doesn't have an interest.
Why ? I guess for the same reasons why i'm not interested in watching paint dry or reading about chelsea football club or ...... if you see what i mean.

I must say, I'm losing my touch ;-) I used to turn every thread into one... I've been tired recently

Anyway, this IS a legitimate thread topic, since it's about the AmigaONE, which is a machine that I want AROS to run on. :-)

Hmm, but those things are unrelated to the Amiga community (well Chelsea FC was sponsored by Commodore-Amiga and waiting for new Amiga hardwre has been like watching paint dry) but AROS is an interesting part of this community...

Still you have your reasons and that's fine. But I would like to understand your view point.

ok, :-)

I'm going to have to be honest here, but I don't AROS is for you... I suggest you look at OS4 and MorphOS .

@Mr A . Redhouse. Just a minor point.

In addition the AmigaOne has a major inbuilt bandwidth benefit compared to normal PC architecture. This is because the transparent synchronous design of the Articia S allows direct memory-AGP transfers without suspending cpu-memory operations as is required in the x86 world. Just ask any user who has installed the same version of, say, PPC Linux on an 800 MHz AmigaOne and a PC of 3x that clock speed as to which is the most responsive. The A1 wins every time.
- Mr A . Redhouse, Nov 2003.
This would be much funnier if it didn't come from a hardware dealer. Now it's just... bizarre.

Sorry, but I just can't resist...

There are a thousand operating systems out there. Making a positive spin on a non Amiga like OS (Linux) is beyond me... What good is in converting Amiga users into Linux users for the community?

Well. he's Salesman.. Used cards, Shampoo, vacum cleaners Door to door. Same stuff, different buzzwords.

Pitty though that on computers .. Many potential clients do understand enough of technology that they can see trough this fluff and realize he's having no hard evidence to support these great-sounding arguments.

Even Apple could not sell their All New G5 as 'fastest' in europe. They had to cancel (or face penalties) TV ads cause they coudl not prove their goodie is the best. What chances you's give that this product is even close to those comparably priced Macs ???

(edit) note.. This ain't Alan's fault alone.. he's just reading sales material feed to him by Mai. IMHO he should realize that not all of it is based on facts and measurable comparision.

A1 users and MAI people are cooperating and sharing information to get the bugs in linux and UBoot solved. I don't think there is any secrecy involved in the hardware spec to get another OS working.

In the MacWorld review (1), a dual G5 @2.0Ghz PowerPC (Apple's PowerMac) was beaten by a single Athlon FX-51 @2.2Ghz (Alienware's Aurora). This review only corroborate the said decision.
