Like all the flavors of *nix, I think you would need the 68882 FPU to go with it (p600s have a socket on the motherboard for a math co-processor). Like Pickle said, it might work and it might not. For whatever reason, my P600 *even with a 50MHz Daystar PowerCache installed* is a sled. It's the slowest Mac I own even though it's 32-bit clean and comes with a mid-range '030. It could just be a slow SCSI bus or a slow HD or something else in the System architecture, but even with 7.1 and a slim System folder, it's like watching paint dry when doing anything more than ClarisWorks.
