If any developers out there are up for a challenge...
There's a ThinkPad 860 on eBay. It's got a 166MHz PowerPC 603e CPU and a 1.2GB
SCSI hard disk. The video chip is a GT20; there's a SCSI CD-ROM drive; and the
audio chip is a CS4231. The display is a 12.1" TFT at 1024x768. It shipped with
AIX and was made around 1996.

The boot ROM on that is obviously not New-World (not sure what it'd be,
being a non-Apple PPC), so bootstrapping Fedora (or any Linux, I suppose)
might be quite the challenge. (Mind, I am running Fedora on a couple
Old-World Apples. To say it's complicated would be putting it mildly.)
Yes but Will It Blend?
I think you'd need a fairly big blender. And tough; it IS an old IBM
product. :-)
Seriously though, what is the challenge? Also its relevance on
fedora-devel would be good...
To get Fedora running on it? I can appreciate the urge, but I gotta say,
that makes my corner cases look like mainstream use. And I've got some
pretty crazy corner cases.
