Introduction :
This month (September 2008) AmigaOS 4.1 was released .
Although AmigaOS is a veteran in the field (many have fond memories of the original Amiga computer), its current version is a fully modern OS. AmigaOS only runs on specific PowerPC-based hardware platforms . The company ACube is currently marketing and distributing AmigaOS and is going to bundle the OS with their motherboards.
Hardware Requirements :
PowerPC processor running at 400MHz or higher, 256 megabytes of RAM, 100 megabytes of hard drive space, and a Radeon 7000 video card. A Radeon 9250 is recommended, however, as AmigaOS 4.1 contains a new graphics subsystem that—like Windows Vista and Macintosh OSX—uses the card's 3D features for a graphics compositing layer.

The OS is solid and evolving, and there are many places it could go. The announcement of support for the SAM440 motherboards is just a start: there is a large existing base of PowerPC-based Macintoshes that could easily be made to run OS 4.1, and the low RAM requirements of the OS would make it perfect for running on Sony's PlayStation 3 or on any number of mobile platforms.
