Thanks to everyone for making the Installfest a success. It was good to
see so many folks having Linux installed, others for coming down to
help, and some providing Star Wars and soda. I believe we had a pretty
high rate of success. And given that it lasted more then 7 hours, I
think it went by
Here's some good humor...
One of the installs from InstallFest is a friend of mine from the
Computer Gaming Association here at TSU. He was discussing some of the
stuff on his in the CGA IRC channel...talking about Mozilla and stuff.
Here's the great statement from another person in the channe
Hey all,
So I have an RS 6000 that I've been wanting to mess
around with but haven't been able to get going-- I was
wondering if there would be anyone would be interested
in messing around with it--and if yes and lots of
people perhaps at a future TSLUG meeting? Lemme know
what you all think :-)

If it's a MicroChannel RS6K, then you are SOL for getting Linux going on it.
There's just no interest in reverse engineering outdated, obsolete hardware at
this point for MicroChannel anything.
That's very true, I'm guessing that the RS6000 you have is the old c10
that I tried linux on at one point. I finally got a copy of AIX5L for
it. 5L is actually quite close to linux (L for Linux affinity) and
will still give you all of the GNUness to play around on a different
architecture. Only
