I did see Debian on YT being booted up on an Amiga. It was, to say the least, a painful-looking experience. It seems sacrilege in a way. If you're going to use an Amiga you might as well use AmigaOS.

Amazingly, Aminet is still up-and-running with frequent uploads.

I contributed a package to that once.

I also made an animation on the Amiga, "Sadistic Circus". A circus dog jumps through a hoop a few times, then gets set on fire. What a sick, sick little puppy I am. I submitted it to a PD disk collection one time.

The dog was an image I got off of a magazine disk, which I mucked around with to create my animation.

Pretty rubbish really, but whatever. Happy days.
