Re: [SLUG] Mac powerbook 540c with linux?

[Dean Hamstead <zort@nospam.penrithcity.nsw.gov.au>]

Hmm...
check the usual mac projects pages
i dont have the urls off the top of my head
they are
mklinux
?linux68k?
linuxppc

i dont know what cpu you have, but i know when i was trying to get some
working 
they had problems with not having a FPU (equivalent).
Im pretty sure netBSD runs on basically all macs. Bless its soul =)
its not linux
but still its not windows. 

Unix is unix, well for me it is, maybe im just scarey. But its not
windows, and you can 
pretty much move anything between linux <-> bsd. Or just grab a port =)
