>Where can we download the Ubuntu

It will not be a free thing in download section, will appear in AEON Webstore and presumably AmigaKit.

I ve got it installed on X1000 and it looks modern and nice, but is quite slow to my demands. But has latest Open Office, Firefox and works out of box with X1000, no hustle there. Trevor said it will have Gorky 17 demo for LinuxPPC on disk.

Even my X1000 is 4GB / Radeon 6000HD I wasnt much satisfied with it as I prefer lighter and less fancy OS. However, I think of reinstalling it once I got CD and switching from Unity to lighter GUI (Gnome 3 or so). And updating kernel.

You can see test results in it with older Kernel 3.9

Okey, that's enough, the PR-discussion can continue somewhere else from this point. Please keep this thread about Amiwest news. If you need to went your frustration about Hyperions PR-(in)abilities then create a new thread to cover that, just remember to keep it civil.

Any further discussions on this matter will be removed from this thread.

@Hans :

Thank you for your explanation about Gallium3D and video.

Therefore, I will have to keep my R9250 for a moment ;)

I'd like to add that thanks to my work on filesysbox.library and NTFS3G a possibly serious asl.library bug was found and fixed as well as another bug in a utility.library function.

And the work doesn't necessarily have to stop at NTFS:

I see arteffect's file requester acts normal (fast) now and not crawls like before when writing the file requester to the screen. Probably some of the bugfixes you mentation. NTFS is a very welcome news :)

@Kicko

Agreed - finally shared partition between Linux and AmigaOS that is not FAT16/32

Also, what happened to "updates rolling after Amiwest", I see not a single file

@all

Has a video of Steven's talk been posted yet?

Perhaps because it's Monday and people have just returned from Sacramento, needing some rest after a busy weekend and a tiring flight?

@Hans

I don't think so. It seems it was recorded but not already uploaded. I was lucky to watched it live but I need to watch it again to get a confirmation on the renderer which will be use by gallium. (I think Steven talked about Mesa)

Here are 45 photos from AmiWest...

I had a great time meeting everybody and talking Amiga during my first AmiWest!

@mbrantley

love the last picture especially of the Team 'pit' crew, those smiles sum it all up

@mbrantley

Looks like a really nice meeting. I do hope i can be at the amiwest sometime in the future aswell.

@mbrantley

It would be nice if we could put some names to those faces. I've got most of them, but there are a few there I don't recognize. (I'm not going to embarrass anyone by pointing out who's who).

now there's a vote of confidence

That wasn't what I mean't, as well you know :)

Simon

I didn't get a couple names and am embarrassed to say I forgot a couple more. But I know them all for the last "family portrait," i.e. Photo No. 45.

They are Ken "Sundown" and Lyle Haze in the front row, left to right. The back row, left to right, has Bill "Tekmage," Matthew from AmigaKit, Valiant, Flip, Paul Sadlik, Trevor, Steve Solie, Tony Wyatt and AlexC.

That's my plan. I was going to do a dev blog entry.

@salass00
I don't think most people understand software yet they seem to have no problem providing advice to us on how to develop it.

My entire point for sponsoring the NTFS project from the very beginning was to improve the OS as we find integration issues. The other major point was to help prove in the file system vector port API. The fact we also got a nice FUSE layer and NTFS implementation out of the deal was merely a happy side effect for me.

@ssolie

Really nice to see you got Fredrik to the team aswell. He's doing a really good job(as with the other devs aswell.)
