In the latest PowerPC news it is reported that OSF is porting Linux to the Mac with the support of Apple. Apple has a web site - www.mklinux.apple.com that discusses this and has a link to the OSF site. In my book, this is a GoodThing(tm). Of course, being a huge fan of both the Mac and unix might put me in the minority ;-) Clay --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clay Olbon II | olbon@dynetics.com Systems Engineer | ph: (810) 589-9930 fax 9934 Dynetics, Inc., Ste 302 | http://www.msen.com/~olbon/olbon.html 550 Stephenson Hwy | PGP262 public key: finger olbon@mgr.dynetics.com Troy, MI 48083-1109 | pgp print: B97397AD50233C77523FD058BD1BB7C0 "To escape the evil curse, you must quote a bible verse; thou shalt not ...

I hate to ask this, but why does this have an impact on cryptography? Perry

It's intuitively obvious to even the most casual observer what the connection is. I guess you're not as smart as you think you are. Ed "I'm not as think as you drunk I am!"

They aren't *really* porting Linux to powermac. They're throwing a little bit of paint on OSF/1 and hiding some stuff in libc. Looks to me like they are basicly trying to ca$h in on the Linux name and reputation without contributing anything to the cause. I personally think that Linux International (they still around?) should put out a counter press-release informing the public that the Apple/OSF Linux shares only the name. Christopher

I'm not sure what the crypto relavance of this is, but perhaps Er*c H*ghes should put out a counter press release informing the public that people who a) don't know much about crypto b) seek to restrict other people's freedom of speech based on their political views should not call themselves "cypherpunks". :-) P.S.
