Hello fellow Amiga Fans!!!
This post, firstly appeared as an old effort from our small Amiga Community (from the days of Amigahellas.gr) to gather and monitor (if possible) the operating systems universe that are installable at Amiga Classic 68k/PPC systems, apart of course from all classic workbench editions and AmigaOS 3.9.
The main parent categories we found as applicable are that of Linux , Unix-like, BSD’, RTOS, Other and Abandoned operating systems.
The list was originally constructed in the year 2008 and only recently we decided to do a major update because much of the information could probably be obsolete! The next step is to gather and post installation instruction from our various members who happened to have installed some of those operating systems. Here is the list with the relevant download links, where available:
