Don't try to think about it too hard.  You're paying for something that runs
worse than the free stuff :-)

Incidentally, if you run SparcLinux, it supposedly can run SunOS and maybe
even Solaris binaries if you have the appropriate libraries from a
SunOS/Solaris system.  AlphaLinux can run Digital Unix binaries (again, with
appropriate libraries.)  Intel Linux can run SCO binaries.

I'm not sure that there's anything out there that can run AIX or IRIX
binaries (although Linux on MIPS may be able to run IRIX binaries?).  Not
that this is a great loss IMHO :-)

*Ideally* the issue of binaries will be moot, when we Take Over The World!
