@BigBentheAussie

Then we agree on something. I was more trying to say that trying to build an entire Linux distro on day one would be a lot of work that doesn't need doing, since you can keep the majority of the work behind one of the more successful ones while still being different enough to be a distinct product.

As for the idea of sticking a MiniMig in a keyboard case, that could be an idea worth exploring. Call it a Commodore-Amiga A100 and its potentially quite the moneyspinner, if those C-64-in-joystick machines are any indication. Amiga Inc can't license anything that exposes the AmigaOS interface to the user, though, so you'd either have to limit it to games only, so no point putting it in a keyboard, or you'd need to bring Hyperion on board. Offer them something they want (like more Amiga branding, or a non-compete agreement...) and they might co-operate.

@WolfToTheMoon

I prefer 'C=Buntu'. Ubuntu, with a Commodore front end.

@Nikosidis

You wouldn't need to leave 100GB for an 'Amigalike' OS. Probably 5 would be plenty - that's more than I gave AROS when I tried it, and it wasn't a problem.
