There's an important distinction to be made...this is not Linux running
on a PowerMac ... this is Mach running on a PowerMac, and a Linux
single-server running on top of the microkernel. At least, this was the
architecture of it last I checked (couple of months ago; I doubt the
architecture has changed much :-)
For all intents and purposes, it should be relatively simple to port
Lites (the 4.4Lite-based single-server that runs on top of Mach) to this
particular microkernel, which, if I remember correctly, is OSF's
microkernel.
