Those pages are horribly out of date. That reflects the status of the
project probably about a year or two ago, or more. Those pages haven't
maintained in a while- anybody with time to spend on the project works on
development, not documentation.
That said, check out maclinuxstatus.sourceforge.net. There's some more
updated stuff there. Quadra SCSI is, obviously, supported, and an FPU is
no longer required, although the LC040 bug is still an issue.
