Well, I can run LinuxPPC on my PB, but it takes over the whole machine - no
running MacOS and LinuxPPC side by side. That shoots down writing in BBEdit
and immediately seeing the results on a *nix box, while only using one
machine (i.e., while on the road.)

There is a "Mac-On-Linux" project on LinuxPPC. I don't yet know how much
disk space/memory it it needs. This is beginning to look like the best
answer.

Connectix claims Linux will run on VPC 3.0. Again, the only reason I see to
do this would be to have the MacOS and Linux running simultaneously and
talking to each other. I've since seen some comments somewhere else that
suggest they won't talk..

If all you want is Unix, just fire up the appropriate
LinuxPPC/MkLinux/whatever variant. No point in emulating.

HTH,
