“Amiga has selected Linux as the OS kernel for the new Amiga
Operating Environment that is scheduled for release later this
year. Amiga is selecting Linux after several months of evaluating
the technical progress of the OS and the tremendous industry
support that Linux has gained.”

“The development community has given Linux a major endorsement
and the momentum that Linux now enjoys is having a significant
impact on the computer industry. There are a large number of
hardware device drivers and software applications written for Linux
already and this number is growing daily.”
