Well, I've d/led the Amiga versions of Debian & NetBSD versions of Linux.  Does anyone have any experience installing either of them on an A1200?  I'm planning on installing 1 of them about a month from now since I've got so much on my plate right now.

I think I read somewhere that there's an unofficial version of RedHat for the Amiga.  Does anyone know if this is true, and if it is, where can I get it?

Are there any other versions of Linux for the Amiga?

You need at least a 68030 cpu to install linux on your A1200 (it needs the MMU). AFAIK, the most up-to-date 68k port of linux is the debian one, although it's future seems uncertain at the moment.


I've got a P5 Blizzard 1260.

Now why would Debian's future be uncertain?  I'm clueless. :-?
