I'm only aware of x86 and PPC ports). I asked, should get an answer in the next days. I was assured though that indeed Linux does run on this specific machine! So, I have no idea where we could put such a beast (required power supply, decent leased line, space etc.), but it'd sure be fun to play with this. Anyone in the club who knows his way around these IBM (as I read earlier today, India Business Machines) machines? And apropos "eccentric" machines - I happen to know about a PA/RISC machine that should be discarded very soon (old HP 9000 D-Class) - anyone interested in this kind of thing? The original machine is rack-sized (not rack-mount, rack-size), but the core of the beast is more like a normal tower - add disks to it, and it'll work. It used to run an older HP/UX version, but AFAIK a PA/RISC port of Linux exists. Greets, Eric
