Summary: NetBSD, X11 on amiga
Keywords: amiga, accelerator, X11

	A friend just recently hande an Amiga 1000 with a 50Mhz '030 board and
4MB ram over to me :) I wanna run NetBSD, and eventually linux. I read the faq,
but I must have overlooked the section about where to get the amiga stuff.
I know everything is supposed to be on sun-lamp, but it's always busy. Where is
a good mirror?  Is X supported for amigas with the EGS chipset? I'm trying to
get away with spending as little as possible on this thing, as I`ll be buying
a computer soon.

Thanks in advance for your assistance!
