At least one of the BSD variants works on them, I believe NetBSD. Depending on the RAM and such, they could at least be useful as X terminals. I'd personally consider making a video wall out of them, but I'd need 10x more than that amount of machines for the project I have in mind.
Another thing to consider is that the few I've tried to repurpose had flakey cd drives. They'd usually fail during an attempted BSD install due to read errors. On the other hand, they have openfirmware, so if you feel like setting up an environment where they can do a networked install of an OS it would work. I started and abandoned the process a while back due to the amount of effort involved for the 4-5 of them that I had. If the timing were different, I might try to take them off your hands for the museum, but we're all tied up in a million other projects, and I don't think another project can fit in my brain at the moment. -Scott --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Central West End Linux Users Group (via Google Groups) Main page: http://www.cwelug.org To post: [email protected] To subscribe: [email protected] To unsubscribe: [email protected] More options: http://groups.google.com/group/cwelug -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
