Hurrah, hurrah, rejoice.
     A Mach3 based Linux is coming out for PC and PowerMac.  Apparently the
PC version will be out Real Soon Now, with the PowerMac version being out
by US Summer (Australian Winter).  It's being done by OSF.
     Perhaps this OS will make the Mac a more viable purchase for a lot more
people, thus increasing competition (therefore choice) in the PC industry.
     The OS will be ported to CHRP (Common Hardware Reference Platform), now
known as PowerPC Platform when the machines start appearing (do Motorola make
PPCP machines yet?)
     Anyways, for more info, check out http://www.mklinux.apple.com/
