Amiga on Ubuntu

,----[ Quote ]
| There are two methods of getting Amiga on Ubuntu.
| 
| Method two, is good old emulation using E-UAE. to emulate the Amiga. E-UAE is 
| fantastic, and if you have an Amiga Rom and startup disks you can get a 
| pretty good working version of the OS going. However, this defeats the whole 
| purpose of trying to port Amiga games over to Ubuntu, and what one really 
| wants is some form of Amiga emulation layer, or a binary library like WINE, 
| so that Amiga apps can run on Ubuntu.

A new version of AmigaOS

| At the time of writing, Hyperion is still in the middle of a lawsuit brought
| by the company that contracted the development of the OS, Amiga Incorporated.
| The lawsuit hinges on the original OS4 development contract, signed in the
| wake of the dotcom crash of 2001, when Amiga Inc. had lost its funding and
| did not appear to be financially viable going forward. The deal specified
| that if Amiga Inc. were to declare bankruptcy, Hyperion Entertainment (which
| prior to the development of OS4 specialized primarily in porting games from
| Windows to the Mac, Amiga, and Linux) would gain full control of the rights
| to the OS.
