More recently we established a Wiki to discuss the development of Linux on the Netstation, you can find it on http://howto.ipng.be/NetstationWiki/ The effort actually worked out and there is a totally new project on SourceForge where you can download the required software to boot Linux on an IBM NC 1000. http://sourceforge.net/projects/networkstation/
