If anyone ever visits this group,
I would be interested to know if linux can be installed
on my A1200, I have an Intel box running S.u.S.E. 5.3
I know a MMU is req'd for Linux which the A1200 doesn't
have as standard, although I heard there was a Linux
under developement which bypasses the need for a MMU!
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

If it is impossible, could I network the Amiga to my
Intel box and access the internet from the Amiga under
WB via my Intel/Linux/Modem.
I have never had internet access on my Amiga in the past,
so if someone could point me in the way of some good
browsing/email software too, it would be much appreciated.

Cheers, Mark.
