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

Touché.
My computing life is handled very well by OS 10.4.11 on a TiBook.
Slower than the imac, but i am so hooked on the laptop and its
portability over the desktop system. So my imac sits idle in case it
ever has to act as a backup machine. In the meantime, i'd like to
attempt a (different) unix-like distro.
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...
Hmmm, a promising idea, but honestly I'd have no idea where to begin.
I've looked at the FreeBSD manual online, but it has little to say
about PPC install. Such has been my history attempting linux and bsd.
I never seem to have a matching combo of manual-hardware-os.
