The fact that the Linux people get the jump on us for the PowerMac port.
The fact that the OSF and Apple both believe Linux to be "Real" and they

The fact that Linux is moving into our area (multi-platform support) and we
are helpless to compete with them when they are getting info direct from
Apple.
