Well I've bought 3 copies, Peg 2, at the starting offer, one for the Efika, and now for the Mac Mini. Both the last two at the full 150euro.


Why because I'm an ejiot. Would like to support the MorphOS team, but even I think it's grossly overpriced, after a bit of shopping around I bought a family box set of Mac Leopard/ iworks/ilife for less that the price of a single morphOS license.

Drop the price and you'll get non-amigish owners of macminis trying it out, and maybe converting to the dark light side, at that price they might try it, but I can't see many takers.

Mac Minis with only 512mb of ram is a bit slow on Tiger/Leopard and I've not tried Linux on macmini, but I have on Power Macs, and frankly it's not good, Debian would only see 1 CPU, and the sound didn't work, Ubuntu wouldn't get past the install until I'd mounted the CD that it'd booted from (?) Yellow Dog was, well Yellow Dog. I could probably have got them working, but lifes too short.

So a lightweight replacement for MacOS X could work, but not at 150 euro.
