Perhaps. In any case, there is now a free UNIX that runs on Power Macintoshes, and it runs quite well. It certainly was easier to set up and get going than FreeBSD on my PC. I hope it becomes a continuing effort, and continues to improve. I want to continue to be able to run *both* FreeBSD and MkLinux. -- Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu Home page: http://www.primate.wisc.edu/people/dubois Software: http://www.primate.wisc.edu/software
