mklinux runs on Mac hardware (PPC) but not under MacOS. It runs under the Mach
microkernel, which is perhaps the source of confusion?
I'd check to see whether mkLinux is really the one you want before downloading
the whole thing :)
there are 3 flavours of Linux for Mac, mk68k Linux for older Macs, LinuxPPC
which is the fastest Linux for PPC Macs, and mkLinux which is supported by
apple, and as such can have better hardware support. Generally, the choice
depends on your hardware, but where LinuxPPC and mkLinux will both run,
LinuxPPC is usually, considered better, but not by everyone.

Best of luck, and please let the group know how you get on it,
