Yes. I meant what Alex said. The general point was that the set of supported
machines on each of the 3 systems (LinuxPPC, MkLinux, and NetBSD) is
different so there are cases when you are forced into limited choices in a
Unix-like OS... At some point I may get bold enough to install MkLinux on
the 8100 and setup a cross-compiler since building software on my IIci is
painful... The MacOS side of the iMac is too important for me to mess with
currently d:)
