Why?
I understand that Ubuntu GNU/Linux is supposed to work well on this
kind of machine, but I would rather use some variant of BSD if that
is a
viable alternative.
MacOS X *is* a genuine recognized variant of BSD.
I would therefore like to ask you whether anyone here has any
experience
with FreeBSD, either 7.0-RELEASE or any other version, that they would
like to share so I might know what to expect if I choose to go through
with this. I have some time on my hands the next couple of weeks, so I
am prepared to spend some days tweaking things to work if it is worth
the effort, but if it isn't, I might as well take Ubuntu for a spin or
do a clean install of Mac OS X.
You sound as if you just got the machine and haven't given MacOS X a
chance. Give MacOS X a chance. Download (if its not on your MacOS X
install DVD) X Code, and Apple X11.
