I can confirm that many sources (via http://www.google.com/search?q=linux+8100+mac) agree that MkLinux will run on your Mac. However, OpenBSD and NetBSD also run. If I were you, I'd grab one of those instead, as they're not ancient (MkLinux's last web site update was 31 Jul 2000). Check www.openBSD.org and www.netBSD.org. These OSs, if you don't know, are derivatives of the Berkeley Systems Distribution, the Real UNIX (tm) from which all others are derived. I know that OpenBSD is known to be the most secure UNIX, and that NetBSD is considered the most ported UNIX. Other than that, the web sites will be much more informative.... -- Asheesh.
