Since (as far as I know) the nubus kernel hasn't been ported to 2.6, you will have problems running this with a Gentoo setup. If you're still interested, take a look at the nubus kernel's project page: http://nubus-pmac.sourceforge.net/ | Performa 4400/200 (IDE disk and CDRom) | Performa 6400 (IDE Disk SCSI CDRom and Disk) These are old-world 603e, they should work, although there may be some difficulty getting them to boot. | Most machines have 128MB of ram and 8GB or more disk space. | | I realize add in cards also have support issues but am trying to decide which machines and the order to load them -- easiest first would be wise for this Gentoo newbie. All of these machines are going to be a little more difficult to install than a new world machine due to booting difficulty. Either of the 603e's would be best to start with though.
