   Linux on a Commodore 64
   ?!?!?!?

   "The screenshots took VICE a couple hours in 'warp mode' to generate. So, as is, a real C64 should be able to boot Linux within a week or so."

     @amigalove I've got an Ultimate64 that could cut the boot time down by ~50X. Sadly, whilst I'm lucky enough to own a real C64 + SuperCPU, the seller of the SuperCPU decided not to include the SuperRAM with it, so I can't test this on real hardware!

     @amigalove I was told that Linux needs an MMU and you could only run NetBSD on home computers. Does the 6510 emulate an MMU? Is it bank switching to handle >6 megabytes of RAM?
