Donations

The Fienix Project is now accepting donations. While I've received offers from several awesome people in the past to make a donation to the project, I've completely self-funded it. At this point additional funding would help address several obstacles.  Any donation, no matter how small, will help to support Fienix and ensure the long-term stability of the project. 

See the Donation Page for additional information.

Branded Live-Boot USB Disks

In partnership with Amiga On The Lake, I am pleased to announce that Fienix 3.0 - Soar is now available, pre-imaged on branded USB disks, compatible with AmigaOne X1000 and AmigaOne X5000. These are extremely high-quality 16 GB disks with high transfer speeds, so you can live-boot directly from the disk, and you'll have plenty of room for whatever applications and games you'd like to download from the Fienix software repositories.

They are a great, affordable solution for anyone who is not comfortable imaging their own USB disk or has experienced trouble doing so (or just likes the branded design).
