NetBSD/macppc \*V runs on PCI-based Power Macs and several compatibles.
|
|
|
|
|
The minimal configuration requires 4M of RAM and ~80M of disk space.
|
|
|
|
|
To install the entire system requires much more disk space, and to run
|
|
|
|
|
X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended. (NetBSD with 4M of
|
|
|
|
|
RAM feels like Solaris with 4M of RAM.) Note that until you have
|
|
|
|
|
around 16M of RAM, getting more RAM is more important than getting a
|
|
|
|
|
faster CPU.)
