Hello, I'm planning on buying an Apple Xserve G5 bi-processor. I know mac os X (server) is running on it and that's a modified version of freebsd. So here are my questions : - I've been using freebsd for a while now and if I buy the Xserve I'd very much like to replace mac os X by a freebsd 5.2 / 5.3 if this is possible. My motivations are that I want to make intensive use of Jails and Mandatory Access Control (MAC). I'd also like to recompile the whole thing with stack protection (if possible). Yet I have no idea if Mac os X can run jails, and MAC (anyone an idea here ?), but if not, I'd switch to Freebie. So in general : - has anyone experienced the change - would it be difficult to replace OS X by FreeBSD ? - would it be possible to run these options (Jails,MAC,stack protection) on this hardware ? Thanks for the hints, because I'm a little lost. By, Jade. ------------------------------------ Free Mail at http://www.oxymail.org
