INTRODUCTION.
After a couple of days I came to the conclusion that Amibian has only one goal: turn your Raspberry PI into a classic Commodore-Amiga and it does this very well and extremely efficiently.
Unfortunately it has a number of issues.
I installed Xorg and the minimalist Fluxbox Window Manager (to be able to run DOSBOX).
To solve issue 1, I installed NetworkManager and its Gnome front-end, which doesn't work right :-(
Additionally I installed the complete LXDE in my despair, assuming that would solve issue 1.
Man, I was wrong. Time and again Amibian "spontaneously" shuts down LXDE and starts yet another instant of UAE4ARM.
WTF?
Unfortunately it has a number of issues.
1. UNRELIABLE NETWORK CONNECTIONS.
The network connections (both Ethernet and WiFi) are very unreliable. I lost connection time and again.2. NOT SUITABLE AS A GENERAL PURPOSE LINUX DISTRO.
It is not suitable for a general purpose Linux distro on your RPI.I installed Xorg and the minimalist Fluxbox Window Manager (to be able to run DOSBOX).
To solve issue 1, I installed NetworkManager and its Gnome front-end, which doesn't work right :-(
Additionally I installed the complete LXDE in my despair, assuming that would solve issue 1.
Man, I was wrong. Time and again Amibian "spontaneously" shuts down LXDE and starts yet another instant of UAE4ARM.
WTF?
3. ROOT ALL THE WAY.
Amibian doesn't create a user, you'll run all the time as a superuser. You've got to be !@#$% kidding me!
CONCLUSION.
The are a number of issues here.
1. Raspbian - nor any other RPI Linux distro I know of includes UAE4ARM;
2. Amibian is extremely buggy and not good enough for a general purpose Linux distribution.
I hope general purpose Linux distributions for the RPI will provide UAE4ARM.
