It is also a good alternative if you want to work seriously with "classic" AmigaOS or want a genuine AmigaOS setup but without paying the cost of a PowerPC system or AmigaOS 4.x** |
| Get AmigaForever. You need a source of kickstart ROMs, and these are provided on AmigaForever (you can get your own images by extracting them from a real Amiga as well, if you prefer, but the AmigaForever route is simpler). If you're a Windows user that gives you a pretty nice setup out of the box. If you're on Linux or OS/X it's a little trickier.

| - | MorphOS is a PPC based Amiga-like OS that is often grouped with AmigaOS and AROS as part of the Amiga family. It has the benefit of being able to run on platforms like the old PPC Mac Minis where AmigaOS 4 doesn't run | + | **Like AROS, if you want an AmigaOS like operating system on cheap commodity hardware, MorphOS is worth a look.** |
| + | MorphOS runs on various PPC based hardware platforms. Currently supported are Pegasos I, Pegasos II, Efika, Apple Mac mini, eMac and PowerMac models. Apple PowerBooks are supported in MorphOS 3. | ||
