Hi everyone,

I was wondering if it was possible to recycle my 2008-late MacBook to
install FreeBSD on it? Since I'm new to UNIX (never used it), I want to
give it a try since I prefer the whole *philosophy* of FreeBSD instead of
the Linux's one.

I think that my laptop has an Intel Processor (Intel Core 2 Duo)...

Thanks for your time,

J.
