I tried this half an hour ago on my Powerbook 12". GCC exploded and segfaulted in a flood of error messages about some altivec-optimization.
Guess I'll wait until 1.0-final:)
..anyone combined the RPC-vuln with the recent Cisco IOS denial of service vulnerability?
Think about it.. What if the worm would have first infected X couple of other computers, and then DoS:ed every router in sight? Not a pretty sight, I say.
The 802.11g-chip isn't supported by Linux at all and nVidia doesn't release their Linux drivers for PowerPC - I wouldn't call that "very well supported".
But apart from the WLAN and the fancy graphic drivers (I use the one bundled with XFree86 4.3.0) it works like a charm:-).
The problem isn't really the price, but rather the fact that MacOS X doesn't follow the given standards describing what framework a Unix is supposed to be based on. Take the directory tree as an example.
Thus, even if Apple did want to buy a license, they probably couldn't.
If you're going to be a couple of hundred people, make sure your core switch can handle a lot of MAC addresses. Don't use that 8-port Planet-crap just because you only need to uplink 5 switches. When the MAC-cache of the core switch is full, you're in a world of trouble:-).

Where I work we just drill a couple of holes through the drive - enough to keep most people from trying to recover it.
I have a 12" PowerBook G4 which I run Debian on.

Slashdot is too U.S. centric, you ins.. :-)
