I use a free version of the Leopard based on darwin (freebsd6) named hackintosh it is the google, it is free, and just works... You can even buy a standard notebook, and install. I will transform the notebook in an apple leopard 10. It is a DVD of 4Gb.. Sergio Not only is that not what the OP is asking for, you're making us look like criminals.

OSX is built on top of Darwin which is BASED on FreeBSD, but is not BSD. its BSD code built on top of the Mach kernel. Ports are just the source code for the programs yer looking for anyway so there's nothing stopping you from doing stuff like installing OpenOffice or Gimp under OSX. I've seen people replace the Quartz interface with Gnome before. overall Im with you in abstaining from anything with the name apple attached to it since its all overpriced underpowered crap. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I assume this has improved, since it's been a couple of years since i played with macs. fink and darwinports have all but died off now. I highly suggest using macports because (apart from the tcl based wrapper script), it's based off of FreeBSD's port system, with some tweaks. They also seem to keep things more up to date than fink did.

But i see there is the 'ports' for Mac as in the case of FreeBSD. Is it the same thing? Can we use FreeBSD ports on Macbook? That we I am spared of paying profusely? Define profusely. So am I to understand that you don't want to buy your wife software for her computer? There are plenty of free alternatives, depending on her needs, which you've omitted. Firefox, Safari, Opera are all free. OpenOffice should work in Mac OS X. Perhaps you should look at apple.com/downloads/ and see what's in your price range. Does she already have legal copies of Windows software? There are at least two choices of emmulators.
