Performa 5200CD & unix/linux

I have a Performa 5200CD loaded and would like to run unix or a linux distro. It is hard from what i have read but has anyone sucessfully done so? I'm planning to use it to host a personal site, so no UI is fine by be, command line all the way.:smiley:

It looks like you can install Debian on it but you need to do some stuff first.

I pulled this from a comment page where I found a Google hit for "Performa 5200CD" and "Linux":

Sorry guys, couldn't get it to work. Perhaps I need to go old school back to OS7!:smiley:

Have you tried NetBSD?
