    Really wish to buy one. At least download. But I'd prefer it solid.
    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)

    Here here! I have often thought about that myself...

    I'd support a bounty on an e-published work to be honest. I think it would certainly benefit the newbie/curious as well.

    Right. Especially right now while Mini's in play! IMHO some sort of a user guide should be provided with MOS license (e-version would do it)

    Well there is the Tutorial Section here on MorphZone and I do remember it populated with FAQ information at one time. Yesterday I took another look at the Tutorial section as well as Quick Help and it seems to be missing.

    Even if we updated this and made it glaringly obvious to those coming over from OSNews, etc. it certainly wouldn't hurt. I would offer my services in proofreading.. and hosting even if needed. :)

    the pegasos book which can be downloaded from the efika.org site is an excellent source of information, not just for the pegasos, but for morphos as well. the only problem that it is very outdated as it covers only morphos 1.4.5. no updates were made since 2.0 released. so it can be used but a lots of thing is obsolete in there. anyway a morphos newbie might find it handy and its really a very well written free book. you can download only the morphos part alone if you dont need pegasos specific infos.

    no other book about morphos, a few articles but most of them from pre 2.x era (like "morphos, the lighning os").

    Well, there is this already:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MorphOS

    and was recently updated to show Mac Mini support.

    There were attempts doing that:

    http://web.archive.org/web/20050525172718/http://www.morphwiki.org
    (not online anymore)

    http://web.archive.org/web/20051215102312/http://www.morphos-wiki.de
    (German, not online anymore)

    An active attempt, but inactive regarding MorphOS (a single change since inception):
