Adventures With MkLinux

This page contains links to various bits of information about running MkLinux (Linux for Power Macintosh). Primarily it consists of notes documenting my own experience setting up MkLinux. This page is called "Adventures With MkLinux" because I've found working with MkLinux an interesting and educational experience.
