Re: Linux on an LC? Possible?

I don't have anything against using *BSD, Linux, or OS X on Mac equipment, however in the case of the LC you would be better off to find faster equipment. I was just suggesting that you could migrate to a more usable machine by selling the LC. NetBSD works just as well on x86 as it does on m68k o

Re: Linux on an LC? Possible?

In theory, you could get a minimal X-Windowing environment going, but it'll be tricky getting NetBSD to boot with the add-on PMMU and FPU, because there is no place onboad to add one. You could try to dig up the PDS accelerators that have those pieces on them, but *BSD and Linux (As well as A/UX)
