There are projects out there that have ported Linux to MMU-less CPUs but, yea, for the most part you need either a 68020+MMU or a '030 or higher to run Linux. Another show stopper is the 68LC40's (or was it 680LC40?). They not only didn't have an FPU but some were b0rked and you couldn't use FPU emulation on them. A lot of the lower end '040 based Macs used them. Not sure about other 680x0 based systems. -- "It's not easy being green.
