Here are my experiences from a couple years back on a 7100.  Admittedly 
I did not try very hard with this machine, because I acquired a better 
model that I switched to.

Linux on the x100 machines is a bit difficult because they are basically 
the old Nubus architecture with a PPC chip grafted on.  I don't really 
follow this anymore, but you might check out this site and do some googling.

If you would like to borrow my CDs, I've got MkLinux DR3 and LinuxPPC 
2000Q4 if you can't find them anymore.  I think you can still get YDL 
2.1 and upward online, but I have those CDs too.
