I see. Well, that 

  Linux is not binary compatible with Darwin

changes things.  

I was also thinking about (eventually) working on helping port the
GNU Hurd to "new world" ppc architecture.  Is this a project that
any of you would be interested in at some point?

By the way, yesterday I was on the phone with Apple and I asked them
in an off-handed way what sort of support they would give for their
hardware if I didn't have Mac OS X installed at all.  The person I
spoke to at first said that they wouldn't give any support at all -
and then that they would only give support if the problem was
obviously a hardware issue.  I'm a little concerned about
this... since the way they seem to like to decide whether or not
something is a hardware issue is to have you twiddle with various
things in the Systems Preferences.  The guy said that most likely
they would just ask me to re-install OS X.  I'm not so into that!

  Macs make admirable Linux machines in fact

Can you be more specific? I've seen this opinion in one other place
(talking about a PowerBook; I have an iBook).  But I wasn't sure
what the rationale is.
