[tech] Linux on the Be

[Grahame Bowland]

Hi all. I just had another look at putting Linux on the Be.
The work so far is very unfinished. They don't have proper
support for PCI cards or SCSI and they don't do any SMP -
so we'd need to put a dodgy ISA video card/network card in
and turn off one of the processors.

That's assuming the Be has ISA slots, I can't remember.
Is there anyone around bored enough to do this kind of
porting (its too low level for my knowledge) or do we
just leave the Be as a useless BeOS box? :)

The page I was looking at is:
