I may be wrong but I see no /sys/ppc yet. from what i understand darwin is free to use. Its Aqua that comes with a price tag. I have an ibook with 10.1 and i must say its been nothing but a pleasure to work with since ive had it. The OS still need's work. But its going to be a major contender down the road to Microsoft and the Linux camp's alike. -jfo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
