Linux on the Commodore 64

But does it run Linux?" can now be finally and affirmatively answered for the Commodore C64!

There is a catch (rather: a couple) of course: It runs extremely slowly and it needs a RAM Expansion Unit (REU), as there is no chance to fit it all into just 64KiB.

It even emulates virtual memory with an MMU.

Insanity. A real C64 would take about a week (!) to boot Linux.
