| Man, everytime I hear Nation 12's Gods soundtrack I've an epiphany 
Glad you're still finding the time to update Broadway. Are you planning to support the i.MX6-based netbook/nettop Genesi will release in the coming months?
Cheers,
Shufflepuck
PS: BTW, yesterday was Genesis's 9th birthday  |

| i.MX6 sports PCi express... muhahahahah! Makes it even more interesting as platform.
Whatever, Genesi has and still is supporting many AROS related projects so if, than they are the company to team up with.
In my head i see a el cheapo quadcore with catweazel, keyrah in a case not bigger than an external Amiga Floppy drive (including Floppy drive)
Or mix this stuff and make an "Punkthis modul" for classic Amigas:

Just ideas.

| Looks like aeros might become my favorite linux distro.
(far more interesting than commodore OS)
IMHO: ARM is still behind PPC for desktop and laptop use, but yes, it can change in about one year. Also x86 might become usable in extremely mobile devices... Hard to deside if CPU architecture change would have to be made.
Hood that there's AROS and AEROS paving the way...
Recently I was surpriced how fast Bodhi Linux is. And it's very good looking.
I imagine that with amigalike task scheduling where GUI can be assured to get enough CPU time, also linux graphical user interfaces might behave ok. Anyone studied if for example Enlightenment had anything that AmigaNG OS could use?

Hello,
it took a while and to be honest wasn't planned at all. |
Let me guess: you become father! 
No, all seriousness aside, this is a nice step foreward and I truly like your remarks about ARM.

Hehe... no i am happy with my two girls.
Spend half the day with the Efika : )
Makes fun.
What I like:
It is small! really small!
I have one Allumium Keyboard which comes wis 2 USB-Ports and one mouse attached to it.
This makes 2 free USB port without any extra hub.
Never had so much room on my desk : )
Genesi is supporting me "again" and firing my enthusiasm.
We will work on getting the most out of it and it will the benchmark for the future.
How i think about the performance:
Let me say i was impressed as i started OpenOffice Writer! I am still running the slow armel Ubuntu build. Genesi has proven that armhf speeds most thing up (35%) and some up to 200%.
I have tested latest WIP e-uae today (still on Ubuntu armel build) and was also happy about the performance.
And this "older"Ubuntu armel build doesn't support 3D acceleration.
There exists a new free debian-image (armhf and 3d enabled) for the EFIKA MX.
That's a good base to work with : ) But AROS hosted needs to be ported over (armel, armhf aren't compatible)
I smell the chance that an small and efficient Amiganoid OS could start the ARM desktop/notebook revolution : ) and get the attention it deserves.
