Hi.. Just to drop you a note: I'm a very expirenced linux users and small fry kernel hacker.. I should be buying some NeXT black hardware in the next few weeks so I'd be happy to be a tester.. Though I dont have enough time to develope.. You should conctact the maintainers of Linux m68k and check out the mac port on www.uk.linux.org.. (I suppose the next port wont be very differnt then those two)..
