Hi All,
 
Wow, I have been looking for people interested in Sandalfoot's for some 
time!
 
I worked for IBM as a Software Engineer at Kirkland WA (near Microsoft's 
Redmond site) on the port of WindowsNT 3.51 and 4.0 to the PowerPC.
The Sandalfoot was our initial development platform.
I ported WindowsNT networking to the IBM PowerPC systems: Sandalfoot, 
Carolines, and the PPC thinkpads.
I still have one of the machines which I worked on. 
 
This Sandalfoot has been sitting in my home office since I left IBM 
about 5 years ago.
Currently it has AIX 3.something-or-another on it.  I just don't care 
for AIX that much.
I sure would like to install the Debian linux on it and get it back into 
some kind of service.
Has anyone attempted to get a recent Ubuntu release installed on a 
Sandalfoot?
A long time ago (circa 1999), I attempted to install LinuxPPC from 
YellowDog (I believe), but this early version was too unstable.
 
I am download the CD 0.4.5 iso image and will attempt to as soon as I can.
 
Great site with good info.
 
Thanks
Robin Callender.
