Philip,
The ST, maybe (except for the only-in-museums part), but the TT and Falcon run Debian GNU/Linux just finely. Linux ara5.mirbsd.org 3.11-2-m68k #1 Debian 3.11.7-1 (2013-11-09) m68k GNU/Linux (Hm, should dist-upgrade and reboot that box, too.)I'm still not following. You are talking about a 30 year old computer running at like 16 MHz with maybe 512k of ram?
20 years, 80 to 100 MHz 68060 and 520 MB RAM (see link in Jon's mail - I've got one chugging along in my basement for years, which I use for kernel development). Supported by Linux in one form or other since 1994 or so. First Debian architecture supported after i386. Still missing something?
We've had a few reports from Falcon users trying to prepare a disk for installing Linux on. Missing libparted support for Atari partition format is one of the installation problems they are facing. There is a patch available to implement that - this would go some way to get these people started. Available alternatives are HDDriver (non-free) or atari-fdisk (old fdosk look--alike, horrible kludge, may not cope well with today's large disks).
Any other questions? Cheers, Michael
