	NetBSD ships with a slightly modified version of XFree. KDE is
	one of the many packages available in the NetBSD pkgsrc
	distribution:
	ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/README.html

	If corel produce a powerpc version of linux then it would be
	feasible to run it under emulation. This is done for the i386
	and alpha ports (I have a colleague who runs the linux Netscape
	and ADSM backup clients on his day to day NetBSD box). I don't
	know if all the machinery is in place for the powerpc ports
	yet though.

	Only if it was available as a powerpc binary for NetBSD or
	an emulated OS.

	You could still retain the option of booting the machine under
	MacOS so you can run any MacOS binaries also.
