I feel compelled to point out that this is _not_ Linux for the PowerMac.
As has been confirmed already, this is a MK 6.1 port for the PowerMac,
with a few bits of Linux-specific stuff thrown in so that the (already
running on x86 platforms) Linux server can run on top of it.
Don't be fooled by the hype.
