Just in case you get offered an iMAC somewhere..
NetBSD boots nicely on it.
In fact the imacs have a Net-boot built into the eeprom
so if you hit 'N' when you hear the gong (and hold it)
it'll send out dhcp/bootp requests
and if you supply it with the current NetBSD distribution kernel,
it'll boot nicely running an NFS root.
That little {strawberry, lime, bannana, blueberry, ???} machine
looks so cool with those Xterm windows :-)
Doug Ambrisko here has been setting it up and 'tis cool!
Good job by the NetBSD folk!!
(The ISC dhcp daemon apparently need a patch to DTRT)
