In theory you can run your SCSI devices, though you may need a special
driver software - check the web for that. You might need an adapter for
your screen, depending on what connector it is, but most newer screens
seem to work.
Linux is not yet available for the performas as far as I know. To keep up
to date on the Linux situation try http://www.mklinux.apple.com/
