....say no more!

it is possible to run a MODERN linux on these machines!! MkLinux is
extremely outdated and slow.

Debian Woody (stable) runs very nicely on my PB1400- it even runs x-windows!

it use it as a mobile MySQL development machine.. i only have 56mb ram, but
it seems to work pretty well.

here is a screen shot of X:

and here is a page that i have put together on running Debian Linux on older
PPC hardware (7100, 8100, 8500, PB1400, PBG3):

i would certainly give it a try if you have a partition to spare! (only need
about 500mb)

cheers!
