Yeah. I still have my old 1200 kicking about (heck, I
think I have a creaky 500 somewhere as well) and
looked into getting linux on it - alas, it seemed that
C= skimped on the CPU (it's missing a memory
management unit, which is important apparently).

I seem to recall another linux distro that does not
need an MMU, but I could be wrong. It must be possible
though, otherwise, how to explain lunix
(http://hld.c64.org/poldi/lunix/lunix.html)?
