Sure MkLinux can be functional... although it certainly was only in development releases. I set up a PowerMac 6100/66 with DR3 for a high school I was working at to help track student attendance and run specialized reports. To my knowledge, they are still using it three years later (don't know, I've lost contact after about a year and a half). Anyway, that was running Apache (most recent at the time, I think) and PostgreSQL (a version back, I couldn't get the current to compile properly). It was a great way for me to learn linux - being a mac-only guy up until then.
From playing with it just now, it requires root (or sudo) to do it. While still a little sneaky, seems to go along with how things "should" be - root can do anything.:)
