Alternative OS for MPW?

Hey People,

I’m Sorry to revive an old Thread, but maybe some of you are Interested:

Actually, a friend of mine just gave me his MPW (not Pro) to find out if the same thing i did with my MPWPro is possible there too. I found the TTL (UART) Port and don’t see any Reason why it should not work.

Although the Hardware Specs are a little Different, are already managed to get a minimum Debian Jessie (deBootstrap) working on the internal Flash.

As i have mentioned in the above linked Post, i am thinking about creating a Manual, including all the necessary files and tools, to get a regular Linux Distro working on the MPW and MPWPro. So, right now i am trying to find out how much interest there is or would be.

In case some of you are interested, just let me know.

I would very much like to pursue this further. As you can read in my previous Post, especially the MPWPro turns into a little, battery Powered, Portable PC.
