Is it possible to run any other operating system except MacOs (7.1-8.1) in my lc 475?

Yep. Debian Linux works nicely, as does NetBSD.

http://netbsd.org/

Not real easy to install, though.

You need a full 040 for either one, though.

pracht, what's the deal with your 68k games site? Many of the links don't work.

I wanted to try another OS just for fun, but as I can see it seems to be quite pointless. As I understand there might be some problems with MC68LC040 and installation seems to be complicated. But does Debian or NetBSD have GUI? And is there something intresting that you could do with those OS-es?

First there were some weird problems with hot.ee – all 10MB files were
gone. Then we moved and finally I managed to mess up my PC HDD. I guess I'm going try to fix all the games in next week. I'm going to upload to another Estonian server that might be a bit slower (btw: how fast was hot.ee download speed?) If somebody have a free, fast and good server with up to 300MB please let me know!
