There is a gnome m68k live cd?

I'd imagine on a 25Mhz machine it'd be insanely slow.....

Heck, I have 40MB of ram, and I'd hate to think about running linux on that!

Use linux applications remotely: CubX on NeXT and export display on Linux.

you've got to be joking? gnome on something like a NeXT? I don't think that even exists, and if it did, it'd run like garbage.

*edit* btw, Gnome is not an OS. It's just a Desktop Environment.

Buy a cheap-o PC and use that instead.  There's no Linux LiveCD capable of running what you're describing on NeXT hardware.

Sad, but true.
