Hello all DCLUG members.
I am a newbie to the  user group also "not to knowledgeable" where
Linux computing is concerned.

Welcome !

Welcome John.
I've no wish to interfere with my brother's posting but I must
mention that it's the Mac 6xxx series architecture that is
the bugbear. This series uses some cut-down hardware
arrangement called Nubus. AFAIK only the MKLinux distro
supports it and then only in part.
(One of those rare periods when Mac design stumbled?}
The problem must be difficult to resolve as none of the major
distros support the 6xxx architecture although many of these
machines were manufactured. 

Aside: Are we the only family members in this user group?
