	IBM is working with the Linux/PPC community to port Linux to
RS/6000 including 43P Model 150, F50, and 43P Model 260.  There is some
additional infrastructure work underway to support 64-bit Linux/PPC.
Running 32-bit Linux/PPC on a 43P Model 260 may be available sooner.

	See http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/resource/features/1999/linuxfact.html
for more details.

	Cort Dougan and Paul Mackerras can let you know where assistance
would be helpful.
