Why not?  I'm expecting to get a hold of a microchannel machine in the near 
future (a dual pentium of some sort) and plan to install linux on it,  in the 
event that I can't crack the security of the unix it reportedly has installed 
in it...

Under OS/2?  Good question.  I think I've seen some discussion on that but 
can't remember the details offhand.
