Tomte,
That page for kernel 2.6 is at http://www.mac.linux-m68k.org/status/
And for kernel 2.2 it is
http://www.mac.linux-m68k.org/status/v2.2/index.html
The reason it is complicated is that there were some Mac versions did
not have a PMMU (Paged Memory Management Unit). A PMMU is essential for
any 680x0 based Macintosh to run Linux.
Basically the first Macintosh computers that can run Debian are the
SE/30, the Mac II series, and the Powerbook 140 as they do have PMMUs.
Since Apple was rather innovative with hardware (a good thing generally)
some features may work less than perfectly. I have an SE/30 for which I
installed Debian potato with a 2.2 kernel. I upgraded to a 2.6 kernel
and it's choppy now. When the etch version is all the way ready for
m68k, I want to try a clean install.

Hi all,
Apologies if this is obvious but I could not find this info on the
website :
I understand that only 68k with MMU will work with debian 68k, but is
there a list around with all the computers _known_ to work on this
distribution ?
It says on the site "Current Debian releases support Atari, Amiga,
VMEbus, and some Macintosh systems." But I'd love to find something a
bit more specific so I know what to look for.
Regards,
Tomte.
