Note that, to some people, Mac OS X is the logical step after NeXTStep, and early-early versions (like Rhapsody DR 2.1 or so) look a whole lot like NeXTStep. And Apple does have their own cube. > Does GNUstep compile under NetBSD? It should. There's also pkgsrc/wm/afterstep, last I checked.

There's an Xmacppc as part of the macppc port, but it's only necessary for Apple video chipsets (and not for all of those). XF86 is really platform independent, it just needs to get at the graphics chipset. Since the various PowerPC-based ATX form factor boards out there have PCI slots, any PCI video card should work with a little haggling to get it recognized (though you'll probably be happier with an OpenFirmware one, provided the motherboard you buy has it). -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr%eclipsed.net@localhost
