sheepshaver doesnt emulate an MMu which is needed to run almost all flavors of linux........ besides why not just use x86 linux. its a lot more developed, and more distros are for x86. powerpc yeilds no advantage there.

I think he meant that you con not run linux inside sheepshaver.
however, i can't see any reason why sheepshaver wouldn't run on coLinux.
You just need to make sure you have all the development packages installed.

Try it, and tell us whether it works or not.

from what I can gather coLinux is just a Linux environment and you can install any distro you like it. Thus you could pick a distro known to work with SS and install it on CL under Windows?
