Utter crap. I've seen *multiple* posts from Ben Bucksch, who for all
intents and purposes *is* Beonex, saying that they would love to do a
Mac version but don't have the *resources*. As far as I know, Beonex are
currently making more-or-less no money on their distribution, and don't
have a Mac machine to build on. If you can donate a Mac, or offer the
use of a Mac by some kind of remote access, or manage the build on Mac
for Beonex yourself, I know that Ben would be delighted to hear from you
(because I've read multiple posts in which he's said so in as many
words). Don't misrepresent his position.
I'm not arguing that it is *right* that Beonex can't produce a Mac
distribution, but a distribution that is given away for free simply
can't be expected to have unlimited resources! A Mac capable of building
Mozilla would cost well over 1000 dollars, and what is apparently a
one-person operation giving Mozilla distributions away for free is
highly unlikely to have 1000 dollars floating around to spend on a build
machine.
