DexOS looks like a possible good candidate for my media centre rebuild. I might give it a try, only I'll have to find a way to make it boot from CD because even if I could find a floppy disk, my media PC doesn't have a floppy drive to read it (I don't have a punched card reader neitherOriginally Posted by mips

Quite a few of them are Amiga based, interesting.
My recommended method for installing UbuntuStudio.
Yes, I use 64-bit.

That's because the Amiga was the best system ever built (in its day)

As noted by the link, Atari is alive and well.
What they REALLY do now can be found in a Google of "Video Toaster".
There are very few professional video production/post production facilities that do not have at least ONE and many (such as Real To Real in San Francisco) have BANKS of them. A bunch of them at Lucas film and at Zoetrope (Coppola), too!

I used a toaster a few times around 2000. I was surprised that a machine, which at the time was almost 10 years old, could do what modern machines, at that time, couldn't.

I used to have an Amiga 4000 with a Video Toaster installed. I had to get a loan in order to get it... lol
But I could do some awesome things with it. I once modelled the saucer section of the Star Trek Enterprise and created an animation of it flying through space... cool...

I once read (years ago) that some specialist visual effect firms had benchmarked the Amiga/Video Toaster combo against other industry standard special effects kit of the day. At that time the top kit for that industry was the Onyx Reality Engine from Silicon Graphics Inc. The Amiga/Video Toaster combo outperformed the Onyx and was a fraction of the price.
Apparently all the CGI scenes in Babylon 5 were done with Amigas and Video Toasters.
