Quadruple Boot System

[David Hacker]

With the darwin 7.0.1 installer from apple you can use either Fink or 
DarwinPorts as a port system to install XFree or X.org, any window 
maker, including KDE and Gnome, as well as most other common software.  
The Fink system includes prebuilt binaries for download or you can 
build them with the autobuild system included.  DarwinPorts requires 
you to build them all but the process is automated you just type Port 
install whatever and it downloads the source, patches it for PPC, 
configures it, and compiles and installs it.
