KDE on Mac OS X

Today, I came across this article at AppleTalk Australia which describes just how to get KDE up and running on Mac OS X. To get the job done, you'll need Fink, x86 (you'll have to replace X11 if you've got it installed) and, as the article points out, "...plenty of time and coffee." After downloading and configuring the necessary files, you'll have a free (as in speech) file manager on your Mac.

This trick requires a Mac running 10.3 or later and the latest Apple Developer Tools. Be forewarned, however. The author recommends a dual processor Mac running 10.4, as compiling KDE and x86 from source took the better part of 8 hours. So make sure you've got the day free. With that said, have fun! Let us know how it goes if you try this out.
