How do you quantify "1/2 of the speed"? Console scrolling? I know that
console is very slow on PPC, mostly because there is no hardware support of

it every day, at home and at the office on my PowerBook G3 Series. And now that
Mac-On-Linux is working, and Sheepshaver is in the works, you'll be able to have
the best of both worlds, run Linux and fire up MacOS whene
