# Resources

In this chapter there is a list of resources which include enough reading to make us experts in the field in record-time.

## Other resources on Linux/PPC and 43P boxes

- penguinppc.org our home for Linux on the PowerPC.

- Linux/PPC PReP page

- Linux/PPC CHRP page

- Kernel patches, utilities and hints for IBM PPC workstations with Carolina motherboard (like the 7248) by David Monro. (Including frame buffer support to actually get X up and working!)

- Linux on the RS/6000 7043-140 another old but still popular IBM PReP Workstation. Page by Leigh Brown. This page also has E15 frame buffer patches for Linux-2.4.

- Hollis Blanchard's page for installing Linux on the PowerSeries 850. Add this to David's and my pages, and you should be able to get LinuxPPC-2000 Q4 up on the 850 too :-)

- The linuxppc mailing lists. Especially interesting is of course the workstation list.

- PowerPC Linux project pages at sourceforge.net

- IBM's Linux on PPC project pages

- More info about Linux on PReP machines by Kazunori Aoshima

- IBM Sales Manual for the 7248-133 (Detailed description)

- PReP specification documents from IBM

- CHRP specification documents from IBM

## Installing other operating systems on the 7248

- Of course, AIX should work like a dream...

- Rumors have been spread that once up in a time, even Window NT and Sun Solaris could run on this machine. Oh, well. Don't.

- NetBSD does of course work on PReP PowerPCs. It probably also works on your Remington typewriter from the early 50s. There is a a special page for our PReP architecture where the 7248 is mentioned explicit.
