Is anyone using Linux on a PS/2, and if so what ones. For reasons beyond my
control, we are going to be buying some PS/2s, and I have to spec them so
they will run Linux. I am looking at the Model 77 486DX2-66. The questions
I have are:
(1) Does it run Linux?
(2) What kind of drive controller does IBM use (SCSI, IDE?)
(3) Should I get XGA, 8514a, or what?
(4) Any other incompatibilities I should know about?
Thanks..
Jeff
