Excerpt from /pub/mdw/Linux-mac/README
Happy April Fools Day!
In case you didn't get the joke, Linux-Mac doesn't exist (not yet, in any
case). Sorry to let you down. :) One of these days someone might actually port
Linux to the Mac; there are rumors of an Amiga port going around. However,
Linux for the 386 really does exist... just check out the Linux FAQ and
comp.os.linux for more info.
No harm intended; my apologies if this caused any undue trouble.
Hope you enjoyed it. :)
Cheers,
