For a laugh, a few years ago I installed Linux on my

Heh. My Mac SE/30 (16 MHz 68030) took two days (trying) to compile a NetBSD
1.5 kernel, before keeling over and dying with a failed hard drive. Not
surprising, really; the HD was flaky to begin with, and it had been
thoroughly thrashed during that compile session, making the poor SE/30 sound
like a coffee maker.
