Greetings.
I was involved in the Debian project some years back (i386 -- I was involved in a number of packages around 1997), but had to give it away due to a lack of time. However, there is a fair chance that I can pick up a free DECstation 5000. Questions: * Is this a supported platform for working with Linux/MIPS in general, and Debian MIPS in particular? (it's based, if I remember rightly, on the R3000 processor.) * If it's not a supported platform, would it be reasonably straightforward (even if tedious) to get it working? Thanks in advance. If everything seems favourable, I'll let you lot know once I have the machine. (Bear in mind that I've a few non-computing activities that do take a fair amount of my time, so I probably won't be as productive as others.) Cheers, Stuart Lamble. (once at [EMAIL PROTECTED], now working full time..)
