FreeBSD and MacOSX To: "freebsd-questions" X-Mailer: QuickMail Pro 1.5.3 (Mac) X-Priority: 3 MIME-Version: 1.0 Reply-To: Terry Brady Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-Ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by hub.freebsd.org id PAA07687 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG In the *very* near future (like next week) I'll be trying to set up a unix machine to act as router, proxy and web server for our Apple Reseller business. When it becomes possible to do so I intend to use MacOSX Server (aka Rhapsody) for the task, but I need to get something happening straight away. Given that MacOSX includes a full implementation of BSD4.4, is it reasonable to think that I could set up a FreeBSD box now and learn the basics... then make a transition later on without too much difficulty? Just looking for somebody to point me in the right direction.
