[tech] A project idea...

[proXy]

Being a particularly non-mac oriontated person, I wouldn't know exactly.
But I get the impression from that linux, that the mac version of the
os, will run on the older machines.

There is that other mac in the corner, which looks alot like the one
down the bottom of that page (once again I am showing my nonmacciness)

    Dude, I think you're going to need a MMU on those processors. You 
    won't have protected memory and Linux is a protected memory operating 
    system.
