One of our group members brought his brand new AmigaOne into our
meeting this past Sat. Nice looking but, he hasn't been able to get
past the command line yet as it apparently doesn't support his video
card. It seems a bit sad to me that they couldn't provide him with a
fully working (Linux) system! Sorry, I've already forgotten wich Linux
it was. and even who he bought his system from. I took a picture of the
Logo, but it came out blurry. :-(
