I'm curious if you've played with OpenDarwin at all. I've been meaning to install it, but haven't had the time, and the newest version runs on both PPC and x86. Anyway, I'm curious to see how OS X evolves. As it is now, running X11 on it is pretty weird. Where is XF86Config? or xf86config for that matter? The operating system is still very new and Macs are new to me, so I expect to figure things out eventually. BTW, what's with this GNOME and KDE stuff? Fluxbox forever!
