This is the working site for the software. The 1.0 release can be found
at the sites listed in a previous message or in the MIRRORS file from
ftp.netbsd.org for NetBSD 1.0.

Neat! I didn't realize that it's on there. I think it's also on the
BSDisc and "Destination: Internet" (Mac CD-ROM).
>is also on the CD. The just released hack of X11R5 for Mac NetBSD will
It's actually X11R6 if it's the hack from Brad Grantham. It's currently
only in monochrome, but it runs Xconq, xpilot, and a few other fun ones
;-)
I don't have any info on MacLinux except that it generated a lot of
excitement a month or two ago, and I think I fell off their mailing
list--either that or there hasn't been any traffic since mid-December.
One more note: I try not to be too biased about NetBSD/mac68k, but I
probably am... It works for me ;-)
