Well, the pegasos boards are mostly outsold, and the new pegasos II boards arriving in september should be much better, with DDR ram support and crossbar memory architecture. That said, some of the pegasos boards may still be findable in some retailer as i heard. The good point of the pegasos vs the amigaone is that it is a micro-atx board, so takes less space, and it is also more feature packed. It has only a 600MHz G3, but G4 boards will be forthcoming. Linux runs well on it, altough it is an older 2.4.18 era kernel, i am currently porting to newer kernels, radeonfb has some issues under the console, but backporting the radeonfb from the benh kernels should solve this. I don't know the exact state of the AmigaONE, nor am i really current with the rumorset involved with it, i heard that amiga throw out lot of personnel though, so i guess your best guess with regard to it would be one of the Theron boards by terrasoft or something such, which are just the same boards as amigaone without the amiga marketing. I may be wrong or misinformed about the current state of this thouhg, and i am biased toward the pegasos boards, so take this last one with a grain of salt. AmigaOne owners, which previously posted to this list will assuredly correct me if i did say wrong things. Friendly, Sven Luther
