Obligatory reminder that http://www.mklinux.org is still online. DR3 was the first Linux I ever used. I had zero knowledge of *nix systems at the time so it was a seriously uphill battle, but I eventually got it to boot on my PowerBook 5300c. #VintageMac #VintageMacintosh #RetroComputing #MkLinux

I got this PC Compatibility card sorted, so now I have #BeOS #MkLinux #MacOS and #Windows95 all booting on a single PCI Power Macintosh, all on bare metal. Thanks @RonsCompVids for the PC Compatibility Card #BlueSCSI images. More to come!

Because I used to love #apple before they got infatuated with #DRM, i.e. when they supported #MkLinux.

@dipierro And… I still have a “Wallstreet” #Apple #PowerBook #G3 capable of booting #mklinux alongside #MacOS

1. The kernel (#xnu) was amalgamation of code that was mostly independent of NeXT. #NeXTSTEP was based on Mach 2.5 & 4.3BSD with an ObjC based DriverKit. xnu was built from #osfmk which was Mach 3.0 and ported to Mac HW as part of the #MkLinux project, a fresh rebase of 4.4BSD-Lites2, and the driver system (#IOKit) was a ground up redesign, despite the existence of DriverKit and NuIO.
