That could be debated, actually. It's a mach microkernel, sure, but without
the Linux bits it's pretty useless. Just a different type of Linux kernel,
similar in classifcation to the RT/Linux kernel.

Even so, it's not really worth it. It's still 2.0.38 last I checked, a huge
pain to install, and exceedingly slow besides. But if you've got a NuBus Mac
and you really want to run Linux on it, there you are.
