Well that's why I'm trying to find out who's interested
and what sort of demand there is. Personally I would be happy for
an issues CD to be a linux distribution, with a section in the month
following with linux software. We only have to miss one months
Amiga software. I'm happy with that just spend more time on the
aminet that month ;)
More to the point would an Amiga linux section be popular?
could it draw advertising?
I.E. go on to fund its own space!

little and often is the best way to learn! I think it will help
users, supports classic hardware and give us more options.
While you look at some of 'our' software check out where it was
ported from? Ever thought that more Amiga Linux users could lead
to more ports to the Amiga OS? longivity with the classic hardware.
More development for the Classic and an option for those who want to
leave other than Wintel.
