[SPARCbook] re: linux on GX

Not being sarcastic or anything, genuinely curious.

If I wanted a portable that could run Linux( OpenBSD, NetBSD, etc) , I'd rush
out and buy a modern, incredibly fast X86 laptop.

If I wanted a portable that could run Solaris SPARC applications I'd use (I do)
a very slow Tadpole.

Can someone help me understand why people take these very slow Tadpoles and
install Linux, OpenBSD, NetBSD, etc. when they could be using faster X86
laptops?
