well, we recently removed the page from oss since it was more than a year
out of date.  the propack does not work on the 320 and 540.  we strictly
support only NT on these boxes. the linux port was killed more than a year
ago because the architecture was proprietary, and other excuses, etc.  

however, you can run linux on it.  X does not work very well, but the
kernel should be fine.  ralf baechle and i are thinking of updating linux
2.4-test2 to work on the 320 but since neither of us have one, this is not
clear.

if you have specific questions, you can direct them at me.
