Re: 6100/60

[Paul Kimber <tech@tough.net.au>]

6100's are nubus machines (pre PCI) and are not directly supported by
any distro.
If you want to run this machine go to
http://nubus-pmac.sf.net
Supports Debian, YDL, LinuxPPC, and MkLinux. I beleive the 6100 is
one of the better supported machines.

cheers,
Paul
