Why? Mac OS X has a complete unix freebsd-like core called darwin ( http://www.darwin.org ). There's no reason to install freebsd on it. Just install Mac Developer Tools (included in the Applications folder), compile your favorite progs and go.
Why not? I don't see why people tell people to not run FreeBSD on a mac. I've seen this quite a bit on the mailing list and it kind bugs me, mainly because the same could be said about anything. Like why run FreeBSD on a sparc with there is solaris, or why run FreeBSD on x86 when there is linux or windows with the windows services for unix. Don't get me wrong, I have 2 macs with OS X and I don't plan to change that any time soon. If it works why not run FreeBSD on it if they want too? Michael James Riendeau
