| Was here years ago, lost track, got too busy, lost my Ami's to theft and fire and just kind of drifted off, though I've looked in from time to time. So, I have finally purchased a new generation sam-based Amiga,and waiting for it to be delivered. Believe me, I'm going to bug the crap out of all of you with questions (like: "Will the Amikit Ubuntu Remix disk work on sam-based systems?") Before I am back in my stride again. Great to see you all again, looking forward to chatting you all up, and great to be back in the community.
P.S. I was serious about the above question. |

Welcome back. I remember seeing your name around the forums in the past.
Which sam model did you get? Hope you enjoy it.
The Ubuntu Remix disk is for X1000. There are a few distros for Sam440 but I think the Sam460 isn't so well supported when it comes to Linux. |

Damn! Got the 460. Relec Red One. Yes, I will like it. Most of my at-home life lately has been helping my wife deal with Windows 8. I'm looking forward to returning to an OS that's logical, sleek, and works with you.

Hello and welcome There're some distroso for the SAMs, for your specific model you can have a look on Acube's site, on the bottom of this page: Debian and Ubuntu
or this thread: Linux on SAM
Also on Hyperion's forum you may find other info... don't ask me if/how they work 'cause i don't have a 460 You may try to ask Geri and another guy whose name escapes me at the moment, they're the guys actually doing the work for Linux on AmigaOnes.

Logical and sleek defines OS4.1 but not Ubuntu 12.04LTS which, under the cute graphical desktop (Gnome-based) Unity & Launchpad icon "interfaces" is cryptic Linux/Unix beast that takes a papal blessing to get it to group similar program icons in folders like Windows, Macs, and the Amiga.
OS4.1 is sleek, fast and Amiga logical with Python, simple CLI commands and the customization that defines the classic Amiga experience. |
