Hi.. Just to drop you a note: I'm a very expirenced linux users and small
fry kernel hacker.. I should be buying some NeXT black hardware in the
next few weeks so I'd be happy to be a tester.. Though I dont have enough
time to develope.. You should conctact the maintainers of Linux m68k and
check out the mac port on www.uk.linux.org.. (I suppose the next port wont
be very differnt then those two)..
