        The major reason I was interested in getting Linux onto it is that if
you can get Linux to load then you can run AmigaDos--in fact, there's
footage showing AmigaDos booting on a Vadem at one of the Amiga web
sites.. As the owner of an A500, A1000, A2000, A3000, and A4000, you
can see why this appeals to me...
