This is a good reason, but the main one is to allow things like ssh and
remote x11 sessions, a Newton program environment, like classic on Mac
OS X I guess, would also be cool but einstein would be just as good,
it's like one of the latter aims of the Einstein project: port it to a
posix OS and extend it to use the features of that OS. This could
technically be achieved on the Newton itself if Linux were ported to it
(or NetBSD, I hear that's very portable).
I was only thinking anyway
cheers
