Linux on and Oldworld Mac.
Right, I currently have several Mac's I currently use.
One of which is a Power Macintosh 7200/90, and its currently running Mac OS 8.6 and being used as a Web/File Server, which is good and stable but getting long in the tooth and nothing supports it anymore after all it was released in 1999.
So I am wondering if anyone on here has ever installed Linux onto a PowerPC machine. Or if they know of any Linux distro that can be installed onto an OldWorld Mac with a Graphical install with a lowish amount of memory? Something like the equivilent of Vector Linux on the x86 platform?
Specs of the Machine are as follows: 90Mhz PowerPC 601 CPU, 64Mb FPRAM, 10Gb SCSI HD, ATi Rage Pro 16Mb GFX Card.
