Hej fellows! Do anybody use any RISC processors?
Just curious :]
I have one in a HP Apollo 715/50. It has a 50MHz Pa-Risc CPU, 64MB Ram and 2*1GB Harddiscs. The (I think it is) network port looks a bit like a gameport. Unusable for me, I think. It was a present from a friend of mine, so I have not much information about this box. Actually it is running some ancient version of HP-UX. In some time I will try to install Gentoo or, at least, some other Linux on it. But no idea, where to start, as I have no piece of documentation for it :-(
a friend of mine installed Gentoo on a 715/75 and it is running quite well now. The main problem was diskspace when compiling X. Oh yes and it takes quite some time :-))
The strange network port is called AUI and it will really be quite unusable unless you use a twisted pair network (for that you can get converters).
The only alternative to Gentoo is Debian at the moment.
You can find some docu about HPPA on the Gentoo website, but get the other RISC docus too because I think they relate to these someplace.
