Hello,

I'm wondering about getting an A1200 and hoping I can get Linux and X
Windows running on it alongside AmigaDOS. I realise I would need an
030 card and can't multitask the two OS's. (correct me if I'm wrong).

Does anyone have Linux & X running on any Amiga ?

Are you using AGA ? Can you use any colour depth up to 256 colours ?

If you are running it on an A1200, which 030 card do you
have/recommend ?

How compatible is it with PC Linux ? Does Netscape run properly ?

Thanks for any replies.


Regards,

Gary.
