    A bit off topic, but...
    Not quite. The last NuBus Macs were the 8100 series (Cold Fusion) with
    a 601 processor. These were followed by the 8500 series(Nitro) with a
    603 processor and PCI. All G3, G4 & G5 Macs use PCI. If you're
    interested, you can find the gory details at http:www.everymac.com.

    BTW, I'm happily running debian on two macs, an 8500 (PCI) and a
    6400(NuBus). Nothing like running a server on a box with a $30 street
    value. My major cost is the electricity :-)
