I will make a point of showing you NetSurf next time. 
That was Chris H, actually he wrote PortablE. I'm the other Chris who was there btw.
That's U-Boot. It loads Kickstart off disk which then boots as you'd expect.
It has some POSIX compatbility. The X Windows server is AmiCygnix, it's quite good for making easy UNIX ports but not very integrated with the native GUI.
Glad you enjoyed yourself!
I think I clicked on NetSurf, but I don't think anything happened.
Having a name for something (i.e. U-Boot) doesn't make it alright, as in "OMG, that bouncer's beating the **** out of that clubber!", "Don't worry, that's called He-Boot". I fail to see why U-Boot starts with a text screen, which harks back to the days before the original Apple Mac, that came out in 1984, as well as before its ancestor the Apple Lisa in 1983. PC BIOS ROMs were designed to be compatible with the original IBM PC, which came out in 1981 without any graphics. The classic Amigas always displayed graphic boot screens AFAIK. I recently searched for videos of an Amiga A1000 booting up, but they didn't display a text screen like this, although they had to load Kickstart from disk

It seems that there's currently a waiting list to buy any kind of AmigaOne computer and the minimum price may be €999.99. The hardware seems fairly similar to a Power Mac G4, but I get the impression that U-Boot is installed in ROM, and checks the exact hardware used to prevent AmigaOS 4.1 from running on a Mac. BTW, I have got a Power Mac G4, which I managed to pick up for nothing from
http://www.freecycle.org , but I found out that it's not compatible with the much later Mac I use in a recording studio, because apart from being slower and having less RAM, it has a Power PC CPU instead of an Intel CPU. Although Apple Mac OS X can run Power PC software on an Intel x86 CPU, there's no system for running Intel x86 software on a Power PC. This means I can't bring it up to date and it's a perfect candidate to run an Amiga type Power PC OS.
BTW, after the meeting I found a post on another forum announcing that this was the Christmas ANT Meeting, so be prepared to buy some food. I can't reply to this post on that forum because my registration hasn't yet been validated. I think the announcement should have been on the ANT website, because then I'd have read it in time. Before I left for the meeting, I made sure I'd already had enough to eat, because I didn't know if there would be anything to eat there. Thanks for the pizza slice(s) and chicken strips. Just that amount was enough, as I'd already eaten.
I'm not 100% sure if or when I'll be attending an ANT group meeting again. I stopped using the Amiga when it became clear that it would take lots of expensive upgrades to get onto the Internet, although it was cheaper just to buy a PC, due to mass production by various companies instead of just one company.
There was a feature on the BBC programme Click some time ago, pointing out that nowadays computers are being used mainly as communications devices, instead of for computing, so that made me think about all the things I used to do on the Amiga, actually working things out, programming, and graphic art. It included Comms as it was then called and I visited various BBS systems, but this wasn't my main activity.
I also produced some art on the Amiga using Deluxe Paint and Photon Paint. I found that MS Windows graphics programs were quite different and I couldn't do much with them. I recently discovered a program called GrafX2 for Linux, which is a Deluxe Paint clone, so I hope this will enable me to do some more computer art.
