Hiya.

Does anyone know of anyone running FreeBSD or something on the DOS
Compatiblity card of a PPC?  I'm not sure how close they're saying that
the board is to a real DOS machine, but is it close enough to run BSD with
not too much trouble?
Or linux?

Or does the board only deal w/ DOS?  don't know the details, can someone
fill me in?

I'd love to have one machine running Unix and MacOS. dreamy!!
