Thank's for the info Chris, a lot of things I didn't know. I've never had a Mac myself before and I don't know much about it but I am an experienced Linux user since 4 years back.
Doesn't sound to good not being able to wipe out the MacOS though. I did not expect to install GUI (X) at all.
So should I change to the m68k list instead of this one?
Cheers,
