there are 2 Linux PPC ports: a native port and the apple/osf sponsored  
mach-based port.  the mach port is significantly slower because mach is a  
pig.  i wouldn't mind a native port, but it is such a time consuming task  
that i don't expect to see it.

far more interesting would be an alpha port since alpha pricing is now  
similar to high-end PCs.
