Actually, the NuBus powermacs are supported--just not officially. I have successfully installed debian woody and yellow dog 3 easily with the customer kernels.
Google for Nubus linux kernel. Using the Mklinux booter, it works just fine. On a related note, I have 2 Quadra 950s that work just fine, sans hard drives. If someone is interested in one of them, you can have it for shipping alone. Possibly even both of them. Linux m68k works on them fine, just be prepared to kludge out the hwclock. Nothing like that for your first linux install (as mine was) Net and Open BSD also fully support it, so long as you use serial console. I believe adb isn't supported on it. -Matt --- Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >OK, so I've gotten A/UX, I've gotten BSD, > Linux/m68k, and Mac06, and > >they all seem to have one thing in common: None of > them will run on any > >of my Macs! > > > >I've got a fairly good collection of Macs - two > Classic ][s, one LC575, > >two Quadra 630s, a PPC 6100, a Quadra 6205, a PPC > 7100 - but none of the > >above will work on them, for many and varied > reasons.
