J Sand wrote: Is AUX Apple's version of Unix, and if so, where to find a copy of it? It's not hard to find but what are you going to do with it? After not being able to to install it for lack of an external cd drive I used the partitions for Debian. Very impressed with what it can do and how easy it was to setup. Booting into Gnome or running Mozilla is probably not the best option when running on a 25mhz mac, trust me.. Its quite good with command line stuff or using a basic X window/Debian session. So its handy to have a little bit of linux knowledge. I'm not trying to compare AUX to Debian as I really have no idea whether anyone, anywhere actually supports AUX and since I've never installed it I have no idea what its capable of. Linux and BSD are atleast actively supported for 68k macs and up and are also freely available. Just out of interest, I have no real use for Debian on the quadra either, just an interest to see what runs and how well. It might make a handy hub for my nic-less 68k machines to telenet to or something, though the scsi-enet adapters kinda get round the need. Other than that, the joy of booting 6 completely different machines and having them all play happily together speaking the same language is another plus, again for no reason other than seeing what can be done. The MacOS is really the best general purpose OS for a Quadra unless you have a need that can't be filled, at least that's what I've found so far. Don't let that stop you from playing. :) If you have a broadband connection, most free unix-like systems install completely from the net, even the 68k ones, yeah I'm a newbie but it was real fun. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Linux and BSD are atleast actively supported for 68k macs and up and are also freely available. Well, the big thing about AUX is while being UNIX, it still supports 99% of System 7 compatible software, and even a good fraction of extensions/control panels. Unfortunately, it's now a rather old Unix, but it's still Unix. It also has the familiar, friendly Macintosh interface. It really is very much like OS X for 68ks, minus all the pretty stuff. It even has a / partition. It really was an innovation, if Apple had kept with it and developed it they'd have killed Win95 before it got anywhere. That, and dropped the price a bit. That said, for useful work, I can strongly endorse Debian. I am running two Quadra 605s (upgraded to 33mhz '040s) and a 840AV with Debian doing serving. The 840AV does about 7-10 gigs of uploading a week alone without breaking a sweat. I'm working on getting AUX running again on my 50mhz IIci, but am having trouble booting the installer and mounting the CD at the same time. It worked before, so I don't know what's up, but oh well... Scott Holder -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: AUX ?
Just curiosity about all the things macs are capable of. I didn't know that they were even capable on running a Linux style of OS, but then again, any OS is just a bunch of assembler level instructions. I didn't know that anyone had written a Linux OS with the instruction set for the 68k series of microprocessors. _ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I didn't know that anyone had written a Linux OS with the instruction set for the 68k series of microprocessors. Linux runs on just about anything, these days. Someone successfully booted it on the microcontroller of a laptop keyboard. It was a bit of a trick in the 68k Mac case due to the lack of hardware documentation for lots of the custom chips. The way it was done was using the MacOS to initialize and set up the hardware, then boot to Linux from there. Still no sound or floppy support, but it runs very well overall.

Look for ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/debian/dists/stable/main ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-m68k/current for the stuff needed for the install and mac readme, once you have those bits the installer will find the rest on the net, well in my case. Most public ftp severs carry Debian, there should be one close to you with ruffly the same path. -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
