my oldest Mac I tried to run Linux on is a Powerbook 1400 but I can't remember if it ran ever. For macs like a MAC II I think you have to look for m68k-linux: http://www.mac.linux-m68k.org/ or debian: http://www.debian.org/ports/m68k

NetBSD also offers a port to the 68k machines. I doubt that either runs much of the heavier stuff like KDE or Gnome.

I dont't know if SUSE offered a linux-version for 680x0-Macs ever.

I don't believe so. There wasn't much support for the crappy 52xx, 62xx, 53xx, or 63xx(except the 6360) due to the lack of PCI support and NetBSD doesn't support these because they use quik to boot instead of BootX, and there is no real Open Firmware on those machines. I happen to have 2 5215cds and 1 6200 that I am looking to upgrade to 5500 or 6500 boards. I have the 5400 as well, but openSuSE locks up in the text based YaST. Also, since it doesn't have a real graphics chip, and the 55/6500s have an ATI Mach64, then it might be able to run it with a G3/400 or better upgrade. It's for my son, who has games that run on the Mac OS, and who likes to play some of the kids linux games. ___________________________________________________ Try the New Netscape Mail Today!
