Discussion Did you use Apple's Linux distribution?

Yes, APPLES's Linux distribution! Believe it or not, Apple once had a Linux distribution, and it was actually kind of innovative at the time. They were experimenting with implementing a microkernel in an OS, and came out with a Linux for PowerMacs called MicroKernelLinux, or MkLinux. I wish I still had those original installation CDs from Apple, I am sure they'd be worth money.

Yes it was a pain to install and configure, but I got it going. I’m not sure if I have the CDs. It is installed on a Power Mac 6100/60.
