Not a drop-in replacement. You can Run Mac OS X or Darwin/PPC on FreeBSD w/ PearPC ( http://pearpc.sf.net ). And it's pretty slow at this point. Nothing like running MOL on Linux on PPC. You can Run Darwin/x86 natively on your PC ( http://www.opensource.apple.com , http://www.opendarwin.org). You can Run Darwin on FreeBSD on your PC w/ Bochs or VMWare ( http://bochs.sf.net ) Why would you want to use Mac OS X w/ FreeBSD anyway? The thing about all this emulation/virtual machine stuff is that you should ask, is it worth it? I've been thinking about running multiple BSDs on one machine for development purposes. Even multibooting taught me this fiddling around is quite time consuming. > Sincerly, > Martin Olsson -- Allan Fields, AFRSL - http://afields.ca 2D4F 6806 D307 0889 6125 C31D F745 0D72 39B4 5541
