- I was on the mklinux mailing list for a while because I found the idea
- of PowerMac Linux interesting. If we do port Executor to
- PowerPC-based machines (which is a separate issue from supporting
- PowerMac binaries, BTW) I think it's safe to say we'd prefer to do the
- first port on a Linux-based system.
