Journal Journal: The purpose of the Whitelist

Journal by Amiga Whitelist on Sunday February 08, 2004 @05:42PM

The purpose of this Whitelist is pretty simple. We can see each other even when our posts are drowning in a sea of Linux, BSD, PC, and Unix users. There are "Troll Blacklists" you can join on slashdot that make known trolls disappear from post listings, well this is the opposite, it makes our posts more prominant to other whitelist members.

Bribing people to port new, resource hungry software to a decade-old platform is an exercise in frustration. Now, someone else in this thread said that the AmiZilla port is more aimed at the "new and exciting" AmigaOS that everyone's been promising for the last five years. Hey, that would be great. My impression was that some poor bastard was taking on the task of porting Moz to his A500, and that just struck me as futile and impractical.

The port of Mozilla to AmigaOS is not for people with a stock A500 and AmigaOS 1.3. It is for those with much more powerful Amigas and at least AmigaOS 3.x. The preferred OS will be AmigaOS 4.0 at it is soon to be released, running on new PowerPC hardware. It will also work with MorphOS, which is in its 1.4 release, and runs on the Pegasos PowerPC platform. MorphOS shares the same API's as AmigaOS 3.1.
