Native Linux support

	I have an idea, but since I'm not a programmer. I don't have the means to implement it. I'm wondering if it would be possible to add a Linux PPC compatibility layer to OS X. FreeBSD for Intel does this, so I wouldn't think it would be that difficult to implement it under OS X. The issues I see would be getting an X server up and running, which from reading other posts I see has been done. It would be really cool, if Linux compatibility can be implemented with the aqua gui, as java apps have been. Is this possible?
