FreeBSD on a Mac G3?

[Mykroft Holmes IV]

While there is a Ports system for Darwin/OS X, called GNUDarwin, avoid 
it, as it is notorious for breaking the basic OS install without asking.

Fink is a better alternative, it's pretty much a port of the Debian 
package management system, with somewhat improved source handling. As it 
dumps all downloaded software in /sw, it doesn't break the base install. 
Very nifty. Works very well.

OS X + Fink is a greak little OS, especially if you use 10.2 with 
Apple's X11 server. I run that on my old Beige G3, and it's quite decent.
