To the best of my knowledge, a version of Linux without MMU won't be developed. You CAN network an Amiga to a Linux machine to access the internet (I have a Slackware firewall and can access the internet with my A4000.) NOTE: you'll have to rebuild your Linux kernel to include IP Masquerading so both machines can access the internet through a single modem (unless you have been ASSIGNED multiple IP addresses for your network.) A FAQ is available to describe how to set up your Linux kernel. I use AmiTCP (demo version available from AmiNet) for my TCP/IP stack, but others probably work as well. AmiNet also has additional software for networking available. For my browser, I use IBrowse (demo available from OmniPresence International). Again, others should work fine. AmiNet also has alot of networking software available (mailers, ftp, etc.) Check out AmiNet at http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/aminet and OmniPresence at http://www.omnipresence.com. Hope this helps...
