[NTLK] Linux now a possibility?

I was just thinking, the original reason for linux not being able to
boot on a Newt was that nobody knew what the specification was for the
chip set or something? Well now that Einstein has been written, surely
someone could port linux to the newton? Even if it were to run einstein
as a crazy attempt to run new things on it in a roundabout way? Even if
it can't be booted directly as an OS, would it be possible to run
something like minix in a program inside NOS?

cheers
