I've used Unix-like systems in the past so Linux is beginning to interest
me, knowing that I can use it on my Amiga now without having to get a PC.
What I (and probably many others) want to know is:
Where can I get Linux (APUS) from for my PPC Amiga?
How do I install it?
Where can I get info/support/help for it?
Where can I download software from?
Is it for me?
I know very little about it but am keen to learn!
