Yes.  If you can boot from a CD, and run a couple utilities from a 
floppy, it's easy to get Linux installed on a beige Mac.  Look for 
something called "Jag's Super Booter" - it's a bootable single-floppy 
System 7 disk with a few utilities for partitioning and such.  Of 
course, you'll still need system installer disks too.

I also have a couple versions of Mac OS's around.  I really need to make 
backups of the 7.1 install floppies before they die on me though...  Hey 
Craig, is the district getting rid of any of that stuff?  :)

Speaking of old Mac stuff, anyone know where I could get a 5-device 
50-pin SCSI ribbon?  I'm having SCSI-related problems with my Quadra 840 
and someone suggested it might be the cable.
