This is a big step for me, I got a Debian Linux x86 box put together, installed, and it is running fine-a mighty slot A Athlon 500 with 385 megs RAM and the old Voodoo3 from my Pegasos. Total cost: $12. :-) It has taught me most of what I needed it to though, and I miss the Peg running MorphOS so that will be coming back to my desk real soon. MorphOS is so much easier to use!

Once that was done, I got Megatunix and compiled it. It needs a package called 'Pango' which I don't know if it is pre-compiled for Linux on the PPC side. So, my next step would be to get PPC Linux running, albiet on my Pegasos I, and see if I can then build Megatunix on the PPC Linux side. The slow migration to MorphOS continues..

While doing that, I think I've found a way to get the actual Megasquirt computer-one of my buddies wants to EFI convert his Toyota truck and this works out for both of us-he gets a modern fuel system, I get 'funded research' in that I don't have to buy the Megasquirt, which is good, because I don't have any money atm for anything not mortgage or daycare related :-/ It won't be that way too much longer though, if things go my way this summer.
