Put it on top. It will make your life easier editing configuration files.

I did, recently, "apt-get install ntpdate." Ntpdate & Ntp-simple sychronize the system clock to internet. I used -- time.nits.org -- in $server instead of 'time.usno.mil.' ..............

I have a real DCF77 clock on my system, which sets the time correctly without going through the net. Already did it on my Amiga, and I now do it with my Linux machines....

I've been doing upgrades recently. Kernel linux version is now 2.4.22.
The risky one -- U-Boot 20030910. Flash rom .image file. It takes a lot courage to type OK to all the disclaimers that this process is totally
your own risk. Rolling blackouts are quite common these days since August
14th blackout. The updater is only 604430 bytes. I tryed for Xfree86
version 4.3 experimental, but couldn't get it. That's for later updates.

Here (Seattle, Wa area) there are 2 that I'm aware of. Although I have
only seen one of them in person. course, that was running Linux and not
Amiga OS. :-(

Except for the few Danes I meet in this echo, I appear to be the only
Danish Amiga user left.

However, there are probably more out there. But I know absolutely nobody
using Amigas anymore.

Yeh, that fact has chapped the Amiga One users here as well.

I have to say, if I get to the point that I need something more than the Amiga 3000 I have, I think the PegaSos is sounding pretty neat.

I still have and use the A2000 that once belonged to Jeff Grimmett. It's
still soldiering on.

I think the important question is what "use" means: Work or just for fun.

Wouldn't have clue! I ordered mine in the first week Eyetech announced them -about May 10, 2002. When I joined the 'I am Amiga Club' in July, there were
a couple hundred sold. By November's Earlybird special it was over a
thousand. After November Amiga-Anywhere stopped posting the count. It's year since, so your guess is as good as any!

Here in the Dallas clubs we have two. :)

That's good to hear. Anything particular about them? I have the XE-G4,
256MB mem., ATI Radeon 7000 gfx, Debian linux 2.4.22. I'm not all that
bright using linux. I kind of wanted to use OS4.x! Gads, OS4 is dragged out.

Last month I tried this linux 'minicom' & 'MultiMail'. I was surprised it worked! =:o Also, with the UAE update, I can use IBrowse 2.3 now. Still
can't do QWK mail in UAE. No repairs to the UTP/ clock were made. Anyway, that's some of the stuff going on here with this AmigaOne.

Ah yes, we had a demo of a Pegasos machine are one of our meetings too.
In fact, we had both the Pegasos and Amiga One at the same time. Pretty
cool. However, at this time I am just not convinced that either one
would be right for me!

Both. My basic problem is that I need some applications I can't get running

an 68k Amiga, and which I haven't compiled for the A1.

Is the BBS actually still in a runnable state, so to say, like having that A3000 around so we could put it on the net and telnet into it?

Sure. I'm just hacking away an awful amount of crap on SAP to get something running until tomorrow. With Amigas, life was simpler and we had no R/3 on it....

Unfortunately, no. IIRC, Jeff unloaded the A3K about 5 years ago, and they
all went Wintel. I can inquire, but I'm not hopeful.

I'm not sure about the BBS, either.
