    From Stephen Walsh@39:901/280.1 to all on Tue Feb 7 10:11:29 2023
    Announcing the release of AmiDeb for older 32bit CPU's.

    AmiDeb is a bare Linux install with just enough to run FS-UAE.

    It is NOT Amilator, but is based on the ideas of Amilator. At the end of theinstallation of AmiDeb you have a real Debian Linux system, with
    the benefit of being able to update and customize the system.

    Ruining a Text based front end, FS-UAE is then launched for your
    Amiga experience. There are two versions listed here. One for normal operations, and the second for writing directly to a USB Memory
    stick.

    Requirements to run AmiDeb:
    Internet connection for the Install. (Uses Debian Net Installer)
    2 GB of Ram
    CPU, from Intel or AMD.
    Builtin Video will work, but recommend Dedicated video.
    8Gb of storage space on a USB memory stick or SSD/Hard drive (Recommended)

    AmiDeb in its default install is NOT designed to run as
    a Virtual Machine, (Only basic drivers are installed) its up to the end
    user to install any extra drivers.

    Head on over to https://amiga.vk3heg.net and grab your stuff!

    How nice! I currently have a linux installation that is a super lightweight ubuntu varient, that automatically logs into amiga 0S 4.1 . My purpose was to leave as much power as the system has for emulation but it appears you have taken it a step further. I will definately be checking this out. Very cool.

    Hi,

    How nice! I currently have a linux installation that is a super lightweight ubuntu varient, that automatically logs into amiga 0S 4.1
    . My purpose was to leave as much power as the system has for
    emulation but it appears you have taken it a step further. I will definately be checking this out. Very cool.

    If you have a 64bit capable machine, then I recomend the use of the Beta
    UEFI versions (Will also install on standard bios pc's), this is due to a
    issue with the FS-UAE repo.

    The beta version is using the self-contained 3.2 version of FS-UAE, and only lacks the launcher.

    Sounds like a bit of fun, Stephen. I WILL check this out.
