Yes, Linux certainly is an option. Does anyone know if these are true New-World machines, or did that start with the Pismo. I mean, how similar is this to the Gossamer/Beige G3. It seems to carry the Gossamer chipset (as noted when starting OS X) but the question relates on how new this machine is in firmware.
The wallstreets aren't even something I would consider new-world due to being extemely close to the Beige G3 in hardware.
But I know that the Lombard has USB, and it has SCSI, but it also will boot 10.3 natively, something the Beige didn't do.
So can I just pop in a Linux CD, or do I have to use a Boot Loader like the older classic macs?
