Nah, Mac users are a push-over. You tried running a network on Macs?
Ever watched grass grow? Stick a FreeBSD box in the middle and they all
sing their little icons off. Sooner or later some Mac user wants to
big-note himself by typing 'man ls' on the Big Nasty and it spreads from
there, very slowly but solidly, converting as a pull instead of a push.
Now if you're thinking of FreeBSD as a desktop rather than as a
server... different story!
