So someone is going to buy a $3,000 computer and put Linux on it?
Get real.
Rather then run perfectly good Linux distro or a perfectly good Mac OSX setup on your mack you can have a bastard cross between the two that will probably be badly broken and fully of weird library problems and strange bugs. You can take your darwin binaries from apple and rebuild them from source then use your other binary software from apple that you can't rebuild because you don't have the source and watch for the random segfults. Then you can install all your favorite linux apps and have them be hopeless crippled because you can't meet the deps for the cool features. The icing on the cake is you can use all sorts of X11 apps and enjoy the overhead of running not one of two perfectly good GUI servers but two of them! Yea I see lots of users willing to give up the best elements of both world so they can fully experience the mediocrity of each at the same time.
I love using both well put together linux distros and MAC OS X. If I bought a MAC I am really not sure which OS I would run on it but one thing I am sure if is I really don;t want to try and run both, other then perhaps in a dual boot config or something.
Yeah, I don't feel that Apple should be worried -- after all, they are still using hardware from them. It just makes you think though... what's going to happen when other major distributions port to Mac? I'd like to see what SuSE or Slackeware would look like on a PowerMac G5! Could this be a second life for Linux?
I know this wasn't the first version of Linux on the Mac. What was the one before this? A version of Yellow Dog?

Just the smart ones... on second thought, none.
boring...
Whats next? portage for OpenBSD? Well at least OpenBSD could make use of a 2nd port system... instead of Darwin getting the 3rd one.
With DarwinPorts and Fink there is already a source based and a binary based system for 3rd party applications.
Wonder what portage could brings us that isn't already there...
I know i'll get flamed/modded down, etc...
And this isn't my opinion of *all* gentoo or apple users..
