Sorry about that.  grant linuxcared up the FAQ and i didn't notice.
i just fixed it and the new entry reads as follows:

	# What binaries will PA-RISC Linux support?

	We currently only support 32-bit ELF executables. Initial bringup
	work was accomplished using HP-UX emulation, but that emulation
	has not been maintained. Eventually, we hope to have support for
	HP-UX 32-bit SOM executables working again, and add support for
	64-bit ELF executables, both Linux & HP-UX.

	We're not promising to get all HP-UX binaries running on Linux. In
	particular those which are multithreaded are unlikely to ever
	be supported.

Does that answer all your questions?
