A page containint a version 6 of FreeBSD is presented. Can you be more specific with what you mean by "broken"? > Will it's 'parts' run on a MAC, which has Apple-modified FreeBSD > as its core ?? Probably not. However, there are means to run the PPC version of FreeBSD on some Apple hardware, as well as it's maybe possible to run FreeBSD's x86 version on some x86 Macs. However, it should be possible to use VirtualBSD within a virtualisation environment (i. e. in a VM) on Mac OS X and other operating systems. It even comes with the currently popular "Mac look & feel". See: http://www.virtualbsd.info/ > What EXACTLY is PC-BSD? It's an operating system and applications package with preinstalled and precondigured desktop environment and custom installer, using FreeBSD at its heart. See: http://www.pcbsd.org/ > Does it install on a WINDOZE OS ? No. You cannot install an operating system on "Windows". -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
