Hypothetically possible, but Linux on PPC does not yet have the stability
and reliability of x86 Linux, and I need to show a 'real' solution, not
an experimental condition in these benchmarks.
I'd love the combine a cool OS (Linux) with cool hardware (G3), but if at
all, I can only do it 'off the record' - besides I believe Linux PPC does
not support our Adaptec 3940UW SCSI controller, or the Asanté 10/100
ethernet card yet...
