Hello all,

i have a friend who has a macintosh, it is a basic machine lcii
i think, i am not to sure, is thier a version of linux that
will run on this and use the standard as supplied by apple 80
meg apple scsi hard disk and some sort of apple certified cdrom
drive
.

reason for asking is that on a recent visit the chap saw
freebsd and xwindows on my 486 and asked if thier was someting
like that for his apple. 

also what would the chances of the apple version working on
what is called a apple mac classic .. it has appletalk, an
aftermarket 300 meg scsi and some 4 meg of dram. both of these
machines are in the same office and can be memorey upgraded, if
required.
 just as an aside, how much memory would be required ?

finally, is thier a newsgroup or mailing list that specialises
in apple macintosh and linux, or more broadly motorola 68000
seris processors & linux ?

cheers and with thanks.

regards ... jonathan
