Notes on UNIX/Linux for the MacIntosh, from a student.
I have not verified these.  Caveat emptor.



		Sources for UNIX/Linux for Macintosh

* Darwin (from Apple)

Darwin is Apple's free, Open Source Mach 3.0 Operating System based on 
4.4BSD and is the foundation for OS X (pronounced: "Oh Es Ten"). It's 
available for download and installation on both Macintosh and certain 
x86 personal computers. The recommended base install for Macintosh 
computers is a 300MHz iMac (Rev B) or better. Check the Developer Site 
for compatible x86 systems.

"Darwin" is available as a free download at:
http://developer.apple.com/darwin/


* Linux Distributions for MacIntosh

Linux is also available for the Macintosh. It can be found for the most 
recent computers and earlier "Beige" systems that use the older 
Motorola 68000/NuBus architecture.

A partial listing:

- Yellow Dog Linux (certified by Apple for  install on all G4 and the new 
G5) can be found at:
http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/products/ydl.shtml

- MkLinux is available at (see site for reccommended system requirements):
www.mklinux.org

- Linux-m68k (for older 68000 processor serries Macs) is available at:
