I see. It's a good start. Is there any incentive of updating it, enhancing it with Mac OS X and Linux and bringing it over to this site in a cleaner form? I can contribute on the Mac OS X part I guess once I dig into this.

Yep, great, thanks, this will be one of the first things I am going to try.

OK, so no luck so far. I hope in the future.

@ jPV:

Hey, first of all, thanks for a great review of MorphOS, great article. Then, thank you for a very comprehensive reply, I will just quote couple of things:

> If printer/server works as PS printer, it helps in some situations.

I *think* it does, not sure, good hint.

> Or use external access point next to mini to convert wired connection to wireless.

Yep, this might be finally a good reason for me to get an AirpotExpress.

> MPlayer is great! And MorphOS port is better than MPlayer on many other platforms :)
> There's VLC port too, but it isn't as mature as MPlayer.

Glad to hear that. I used MPlayer on OS X but recently switched to VLC which is, in my opinion, better now (at least on OS X). I am glad I will be using it again.

Good hints. Thanks.

Yes, I noticed that in your article as well. I wanted to get the 64MB one on eBay originally because of that, but this Mini was too good of an offer to refuse so I hope it won't be a big deal?

He he, good point.

:)

Thanks to all others who replied.

One general question: how about improving the (currently pretty ascetic IMHO) Library->FAQ part of this site with some of the questions and answers from here? There will be more once I start playing with OS, maybe it would be nice for future MorphOS newbies to have this all in the FAQ? I would not mind contributing if needed.

I am still in the office, the next time I write here I promise it will be after installing the MorphOS
