Don't get me wrong. I love hobby OSes and have been running one particular hobby OS for about 14 years. However, I think a hobby OS should provide an improvement over the OS you are replacing.
For example, back in 1994, when I first installed Linux, it was far superior to DOS/Windows 3.1 and let me do things with my machine that the Microsoft combo couldn't. The same has stayed pretty much true ever since (except for in the game arena, but I'm not into that much).
In my opinion, for MorphOS to be useful to me on my G4 Mac Mini, it would have to offer something that I couldn't get in Leopard, or it would have to do what Leopard does better. I wish the Morph guys all the luck in the world and hope they come to that point eventually.
