ive been looking into morphos lately and im curious if i have to buy it preinstalled or can i download or buy a cd of it

It will only run on the Pegasos computer. Check out pegasosppc.com for
more info. It comes free with the system when you buy one. Welcome to
Morphzone! If you have any more questions just ask.

ive seen it which system would you sugest

Check out a dealer near you. They are cheaper than buying it directly
from this webstore.

whrere is there a place near me that sells them

That's hard to say without knowing where you are.

See also this page for a list of dealers, but I'm not sure how current it is.

oh i see i thought u ment a store or something

I'd recommend Pegasos 1 only if you get one with April 2 and memory, and you get it for a cheap price.
(Memory for Pegasos 1 is MUCH more expensive than memory for Pegasos 2)

Quote:

I would not recommend a Pegasos1 to anyone. Sure, they may work, but the Pegasos2 is so much better and it is still supported. If you get a Peg1 for free, then OK, but I would *still* recommend getting a Peg2 also!


@ wasisme

MorphOS currently only comes bundled with the Pegasos computer. Choose a dealer close to you from this page (or click "Enter Here" in the right row to get to Genesi's own webstore):

http://www.pegasosppc.com/purchase.php

If you buy a pre-built system (like a Pegasos Open Desktop Workstation (ODW) or something the dealer has put together), then you will most certainly get MorphOS pre-installed as well as a CD. If you buy a motherboard only then there is of course no way to pre-install the OS so you will get the CD only!

i'd recommend a second-hand Pegasos 1 if you plan only to use MorphOS or don't know much about the Pegasos in general. The Peg 2 is kinda expensive and it maybe won't fulfill your needs. Unless you plan to use it under Linux, then the Peg 2 would be much better.
Give a try with the Peg1 first, you'd still be able to resell it later for a Peg2.

I'm still very happy with my Peg1/MorphOS and i don't care at all not being able to run some linux s**t.

Well, you are *able* to run Linux on Peg 1.

Bye

I'm running (Pegasos II) 1 Gig, 512 Ram, ATI Radeon 9200 Se,
Soundblaster Live!,400 Gig HDSpace. Running MorphOS, Yellow Dog Linux,
GNU/Debian Linux.

I like Yellow Dog Linux best, It's a only PPC based linux. 100%
working and stabel unlike GNU/Debian Linux.
Yellow Dog is made Only for Pegasos2, so u get my drift.

Good luck hunting! :) Metroid Prime rules, when do we get Gamecube
emulator for morphos??

sure i am able to run Debian. And I did. And it was damn slow.
Most recent linux stuff (like the live game CD, YellowDog, Gentoo... ) don't work on Peg1.

[ Edited by SoundSquare on 2005/3/30 14:11 ]

YellowDog works after some tricks during install. And Gentoo works out-of-box.

on Pegasos 1 ???? send me a link, tutorial, info, email i would really love to try it !

Info about installing Yellowdog one Pegasos 1: http://www.amipeglin.de.vu/
About Gentoo: I think that http://www.gentoo.org/ has all what you need

- nothing about Peg 1 on Gentoo

- that yellow dog for Peg1 tutorial is a joke. Tried it many times without success and i don't know anyone who succeeded in installing it.

I knew these links and thought you'd have some new stuff.

can u give me a link to pegasos1 i cant find it

Please note that it was discontinued two years ago ...

ill just give up the money for the pegasos2

Quote:
Gentoo installation on Peg1 is exactly the same as on Peg2 (atleast in 2004 version they were the same - I've installed gentoo without any problems).
Quote:
Hmm, now I remeber that I had to do some things that wasn't written in this manual, but can't exactly remeber what (i've installed it long time ago).

Quote:
It is the best choice ! You will have lot of fun with a Pegasos 2.
Welcome on board ! :)

@marcik

cool thanks for the info, i'll try the Gentoo then. cheers m8
