Whether you want to run BSD (OS X) or Linux is a matter of taste.
IBM have some PPc development systems (Walnut if I recall right) which
can run both Linux and QNX, but I have no idea how to get one or what

What else is out there that's not wintel, fast enough and can address
a large memory that runs a fairly current UNIX. That also assumes

work as everything
is becoming too interconnected with every thing else.
