There are three classes of applications but they break down like this:
1. Cocoa Apps - Cocoa is the evolution of OPENSTEP using Objectice C and/or Java. Fully OO framework for building new apps. These will only run on OS X.
2. Carbon Apps - MacOS toolbox apps slightly reworked and linked against the Carbon libraries to allow running native in OS X and in OS 8.1 and above.
3. Classic apps - These are MacOS toolbox apps that run in a compatibility mode (OS 9 within OS X).
To answer the original question, Apple is not porting Cocoa or Carbon to LinuxPPC so I doubt you can get any binaries to run.
OS X is based on FreeBSD so POSIX compatible utilites should compile. We'll see.
You're right about Airport being 802.11 but Apple's airport card is not PCMCIA. There is a custom slot (more like IDE) inside the iBooks, G4s, iMac DVs, and now Powerbooks that takes the card.
The card from Apple is $100. The PCMCIA version from Lucent is ~$200...
I'm not a hardcore kernel hacker but I do run IBM's JDK118 on Linux and I can see the benefit of increasing the file descriptors and tasks per user in the kernel beyond their defaults.
Can anyone think of any reason why I shouldn't change these values? Would it affect performance elsewhere?

AFAIK,/. IS written w/ mod_perl... They have a fairly complex load balancing setup that's now serving the site (Check out Andover.Net's SEC S-1 filing and they go into pretty good detail) and I doubt that mod_perl is the bottleneck...
Performance tests have shown that mod_perl and Java servlets run pretty much neck-in-neck in terms of speed so I doubt moving to servlets would have much, if any, impact on the speed of the site...
This quesition is also sorta answered in the FAQ... Rob likes Perl and has no desire to move to PHP, C, etc...
You can also check out my Sucakge.com code. It'll be posted online in a few days and is/will be a lot like the Slash engine, except written in Java as servlets.
Consider if you co-locate with someone like Exodus, Above.Net, etc... that THEY take care of the redundancy... If the co-locater decides to cut you off, your redundancy doesn't mean anything...

I disagree. I think GIS is GREAT! Super cool. Always good for a laugh.

It most likely plays MP3 streams from an Icecast or Shoutcast server (see www.icecast.org).
I run an Icecast server at www.fatfreeradio.net and it's GREAT software.

I've also spent a lot of time with QuickTime on Windoze and it works great there too.

I have a servlet project that's built on top of Sun's JSDK2.0 / Servlet API 2.0.
I just released it under the GPL at soma.sourceforge.net.
Are you saying that since it's linked to Sun's API, it can't be GPL'd?

I would agree with you that things are getting better, but it's still far from as easy to use as Windows or the MacOS *for the average user*...
Consider this example:
CDs - Windows and MacOS automount the CDs and they are available for use. Most Linuxes do not automount CDs. You must mount them by hand...

I just finished building my new Potato system with 3dfx's Voodoo3 drivers from their site...
.deb packages will be available?
I guess I have two questions...
1. Any idea when
2. Are any of the Vooodoo3 specifics folded into the main release? I saw a mention of Banshee but not Voodoo3.
It was a MAJOR pain getting the Voodoo setup with Debian and it'd be cool to have that stuff folded into the "norm" XFree distribution...
