Nothing in particular--just fooling with the box a bit and shelving
it until a special need arises. The OS 8 interface isn't
particularly exciting, particularly with MS Word and IE 4 for Mac. I
miss a good command-line interface and development tools. Hence, the
query about Linux.

Linux is not a very good option for pre PCI PPC Macs, which the 6100 would
fall under.
OS 8.1 is a decent (but not exciting) OS, but the whole point should be to
experience the apps on the Mac and no stare at the OS all day. If I want a
CLI interface I would power up my AWS 95 with A/UX 3.1.
