There is no FreeBSD for Macintosh hardware. However, here are some Unix/Linix/BSD OSes for macintosh hardware: NetBSD http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/mac68k/ (68k) http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/macppc/ (ppc) OpenBSD http://www.openbsd.com/mac68k.html (68k) http://www.openbsd.com/powerpc.html (ppc) MkLinux http://www.mklinux.org/ LinuxPPC http://www.linuxppc.org/ Debian http://www.debian.org/ports/m68k/ (68k) http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/ (ppc) Doug rperkins@paso.wpafb.af.mil wrote: > > I am looking into the freeBSD software, I am a complete novice in the Unix world, my question is will this OS run on an old Mac Quadra 900? I do not own the system yet, a person I work with is giving it to me, and since I do not use Mac's that much I thought that this would be a good chance to run a Unix os on older hardware. Please let me know if I can and if I should pursue this. I do have a pc that runs Winblowz 98 bloatware,( I will be honest tho, it does ok and it is easy for my wife and kids to use) on an 333 Celeron. I have considered dual booting this machine and I will once I add a 2nd harddrive. But I would like to take advantage of the MAc and not waste it. > > Bob Perkins > Contractor, Applied Sciences Corporation > PIXS SYS/OP > Tel: (937) 255-2837 DSN 785-2837 > Fax: (937) 656-7193 DSN 986-7193 > Email: perkinr@paso.wpafb.af.mil > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
