- This question continues to pop up every now and again.
-
- There was *TALK* of an amiga port, and that's all.
-
- Linux is inexorably intertwined with the Intel 80x86 chipset.. porting it
- to motorola chips would be EXCEEDINGLY difficult at best...
-
- For amiga owners, why not check out AmigaMach, which actually *exists* :)
- or try Minix..
-
- As for an Amiga linux port.. Don't hold your breath.. I waited awhile and then
- gave up and bought a 486 to run Linux on :)
