Amiga and Unix/Minix/Linux/*BSD
i just wondered, if there are EAB users around who use the C= Unix aka AMIX, or Minix, Linux or a BSD (NetBSD) system on their machines ?
i am not sure, but if there is enough interest in such things, maybe EAB might add some new sections ? just an idea ! if there are already some good boards around, can someone give me some pointers to them, please ? |

Emualting an Amiga under Linux would attract my interest just to see the amazing differences in perfomance...
![]() I am sure Linux would do better and why not if it does... transfer all my Amiga related stuff to the Linux HDD ![]() As for how to do something like that perhaps you should check UAE, WinFellow... The both have Linux versions ![]() |

the idea wasn't running an amiga emulator under linux, because they exist, but to run unix/linux/minix/*bsd on the amiga hardware. this is just a small almost insignificant difference... ;-)
besides i had amix and linux running on my old A3000, but this was about five years ago, and it wasn't too much fun. i don't think amix will make me happier today, but i'll check out debian linux soon ... i just need to burn the isos. Last edited by harlequin; 22 April 2002 at 17:14. |

Linux on a A500
I tried linux on a A500 with a 530T (dropped in a full 030) I used Debian (potato) distro. I found it to be __very__ slow. Talking about running linux on 68k's I found it slow even on an 040 Mac, so to tell you the truth I don't know if its worth running on any classic 68k amiga hardware. I didn't even dare try running X that would kill the CPU big time.
If somebody sees it differently or has different experience yell out, I'd be interested. |

I bought the PowerPC version of Linux for my Amiga 4000T 060/PPC. All it did was lock up my machine. Now I use Linux Mandrake on a AMD 1.2GHz machine. I would love to get Linux working on the Amiga after all I spent $50 on the 3 CD set.
