I have been having some trouble installing FreeBSD 7.2 on my imac,

suited to my machine. Using a 15-inch 1ghz usb 2.0 model with 512mb
ram and 80gb hard drive. Has anyone successfully used a -nix OS on
this machine?
The absolute best Unix distro for your Mac is ..... Mac OS X.
Yes, Mac OS X.
That product from Apple, that is, at its core UNIX - based on Mach and FreeBSD.
For you purists out there, that just cannot stand to use a pretty
GUI, such as Aqua - the one provided by Apple - you're more than
welcome to fire up Terminal and use whatever shell you want...
