A *Power*Mac is one of them; and according to the Linux FAQ, its still
in a very early stage.
There is a port of NetBSD to the Mac which is further along. Try ftp to
gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/BSD/NetBSD_Mac/
I think its in Beta, I haven't tried it. There is a mailing list. Also,
the comp.os.386bsd.* might be useful, even if it is a misnomer.
Good Luck,
Henry
