You're right, Linux completely takes over the machine. >Does anyone have Linux & X running on any Amiga ? Yep, since around February of this year. >Are you using AGA ? Can you use any colour depth up to 256 colours ? I believe the person who can best answer this will do so very soon. :-) (Myself, I've been using in on monochrome ECS for the first few weeks until I had hacked together rudimentary support for a gfx board of mine - which has not evolved in any way since then.. :-|) >How compatible is it with PC Linux ? Does Netscape run properly ? As far as X11 is concerned, there is no difference between X11R6 under Linux/m68k, Linux/ix86 or any flavour of Unix running X11R6. There is no Netscape because there is no source code for it - and I believe Netscape Communications is not going to produce a Linux/m68k binary for us... Frank
