MkLinux is a port of Linux to the Mach MicroKernel, and a corresponding
port of Mach to the HP PA-RISC, Intel x86, and Power Macintosh families
of computers.  Originally sponsored by Apple, it consists of The Open Group
Mach  (PMK 1.1) microkernel, with Linux running as a user-mode Mach task
on top. This category only addresses questions unique to MkLinux. For
questions that apply to any Mac Linux port, see other top-level categories.
