Sam460ex running AmigaOS 4.1.

Sam460ex is a line of modular motherboards produced by the Italian company ACube Systems Srl.[1] The machine was released in October 2010 and can run AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, or Debian GNU/Linux (indeed only CRUX PPC GNU/Linux is available[2] because there is not a Debian official support nor a Debian install iso).

The Sam460ex made its debut at the Vintage Computer Festival at Bletchley Park in the UK on 19 June 2010, where it was demonstrated to the public running AmigaOS 4.1 along with the Timberwolf web browser, a port of the Mozilla Firefox for the AmigaOS 4. Its hardware features were also showcased, with its SIM card slot and aerial, its ability to boot AmigaOS from SD card.
