The new ODW's are advertised with Linux ..and not so much with MorphOs... is there a reason?
I see that Linux has many aplications which is good , as long as they have graphic apps as good or better then MorphOs or Amiga..Im using vague terms here because I know little of either Os.. So will Linux satisfy an X amiga graphics user?

MorphOS broke loose from Genesi on November 15th, 2004.
They wanted independence - apparently - and they got it.

But who are 'they' ?

know anything about Linux or their graphic apps?

@Pearly
There are some really good graphics programms for Linux, the Gimp and Cinepaint. I only have used these two but there are many more paint programms.

And if you're interrested in 3D graphics, check Blender.

ToTo;
and is this the website to findout about MorphOs and if so ...whats next??I mean what info is available?
It appears as if MorphOs and Amiga OS4 are in the same kettle?

It satisfied me! GIMP gets some getting used to, but once you get the philosophy it makes sense and is quite powerful. Blender is simply the most intuitive 3D application I have ever touched.

Pearly, you will find information about Morphos HERE The website is not available yet but will be soon. You can also subscribe HERE

@Pearly
Yeah, if you want to now more about MorphOS, this is the place. You can also check:

http://www.morphos-news.de/
http://www.pegasosforum.de/
http://www.djbase.de/computer/pegasos/

And here are some reviews of MorphOS:

If you just google a bit there is plenty of information to find about the Pegasos and MorphOS. You can also use a lot of Amiga software with MorphOS. If you want to do graphics you can use; ArtEffect, fxPaint, Ppaint, TVPaint and lots more.

Pegasos.org ain't bad either.. :)

If you choose Gentoo you can always ask our David Holm
for help. :)

Thank you ...I'll try them...

to all who help me:
Thank you ...now I think I have enough info to purchase the Pegasos and FEEL comfortable ...before this I was apprehensive... now Im confident...and will make my purchase...Thank you much ...

@Arron
Thank you AAron ...but after reading the Linux solution for the Pegasos ... it scary for a novice ..who has only worked with out of the "Computer Box" Os's...
If I again decide to purchase a Pegasos ...I'll wait until they decide what OS to ship that works ..right now it's the MorphOs, I think?
The Linux one's seem to need "this or that" and would need a person with some debugging skills...and all Im looking for is a computer that is a cut above the Amiga with the OS that works ...Im an end-user, not a computer geek...
So the purchase is back on the shelve...but I really like the Pegasos computer idea.

Pearly, The Pegasos is sold with Morphos and different version of Linux. When booting you can choose wich OS you want to run.
"they decide" to sell it with as much OS as possible. It is a multiOS platform :)

@Tapero
yes you can choose which OS to boot...but according to just what I read on this forum , only MoS will run. I am reading about multiple incidents with Linux's...And the Linux groups I definitely need... being a novice and only a end-user this is a questionable incident. If im wrong here I'll be the first in line at a Peg dealer.

@ Pearly

Installing Debian or YellowDog Linux is really easy on Pegasos. Even I could get these distributions to run on my Pegasos and I have no clue from Linux. I always used AmigaOS before. Now I have MorphOS as main OS and a Debian Linux if its needed.

in my personal ooppinion yes =)

Where did you read that? I'm running Gentoo on my PegII and it is rock stable. I'm even running an experimental kernel.

If you want to read about Linux on the Peg, point your browser at PPCZone.

--Aaron

@Aaron ... did you just load the Gentoo like you would MoS? ..and ty for thr info will cruise the PPCZone...sounds like fun ..!

I think the problems your reading must be on the old pre april peg1. THe peg2 is easy to get linux setup on. =) easier then windows in my oppinion.

Yes. The installation is quite different, of course.

@ zephar ...many thanks , and that will help immensley...and now I am more aware of what Im reading ...smile
