trying to run Debian on an Apple

[JonesMB <jonesmb@ziplink.net>]

I have been lurking on this quiet list for a couple of days.  I have 
access to a couple of old Apple Macs and I thought I would try and run 
Debian on one of them just for the fun of it.  I have been using Linux at 
home for a couple of years and Debian at home and work for about a year 
and a 1/2 so I think I should be able to do this.  I am doing this because 
my PC is now running with no problems and I need something different to 
mess with.

I have looked at the Power PC and 68K Linux pages on the web and got the 
lists of machines Linux will work on.  I'll go pick one out this weekend.  
I assume that some of you are running Debian on old Macs. Anything I 
should know before I embark on this crazy little project.

I eventually intend to connect it to a LAN which has an AMD K6 powered PC 
running Linux and an IBM Thinkpad running Windows.

I am totally new to Apple computers - my total time spent in front of one 
will not even add up to an hour and that will be my biggest problem.

I am cross posting to both the Power PC and 68K lists as I am not sure 
what I'll end up with.

Any pointers from you guys is appreciated.

later
