DUDE!  Sweet!  If you want to get rid of one of those Mac's I would love to
grab one...for free of course ;-)  or a case of beer!

Try RetroSystems on Flint Road.  They have stuff for old systems and should
have some Mac stuff floating around.  I know they have some reasonably sized
SCSI drives there as well.  Doug the head guy there is awesome.  Tell him
Cameron sent you.

As far as distro...Yellow Dog (I think) is supposed to be good.  Suse makes
a PPC version.  I have heard they have some problems with old world Mac's
but that could have been tied with older version so check into it.  Can't
think of any other distros off the top of my head though.

So I managed to fandanlge a couple of free powermacs. 7200/90 and a
7200/75, anyone know where I can get some 168 pin 70ns ram for these
puppies (need to have them in pairs, would like to get 32/64 meg chips).

Also, does anyone know what version linux these would run, and of course
can I just buy a new SCSI drive for them? (they only have like 500meg
harddrives in them).

Thanks.
