Linux on an A1200 - worth a go, or a waste of time?

[mingle]

Hi,

I've seen mention of 68k Linux being able to be run on an A1200...

Obviously it won't be a proper Ubuntu-like desktop, since I think the distro is around 9 years old now!

But, is it a relatively easy thing to do and what would I have at the end of it - a working X-Windows environment, Shell only, etc?

Has anyone else done it and is it worth a tinker?

Cheers,

Mike.

Regarding the accelerator - I'm working on it! :-)

@persia,

Don't worry, I'm not planning on using an A1200 as a dedicated Linux box! Just really seeing what it's like and how well (or otherwise) it runs.

Cheers,

Mike.
