Welcome to Linux/mac68k!

The goal of this project is to port Linux to the 68k-based Macintoshes (not Power Macs) and to support as much hardware as possible. There are currently ports of the 2.2, 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. Just about every Mac with a 68030 or better processor is usable in some form under Linux/mac68k, though support for certain hardware devices is still under development. A 68020 CPU with 68851 PMMU should work also. Older 68000-based Macs are not supported. For more information on which machines will work, see the machine status page.

If you're new to Linux/mac68k, see the documentation section where you can find the FAQ and instructions on how to get started installing Linux on your machine.

We need developers! If you're interested in lending a hand, send email to the mailing list to get started. Programming and kernel experience is nice, but not necessary.
