OSX and Freebsd : what could be a good setup

[Alex (ander Sendzimir)]

Sven,

I have PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.3.3 and a dual AMD Athlon system 
running FBSD 4.9-STABLE. I regularly mount partitions via NFS between 
these machines without a problem. With permissions set properly 
drag-n-drop works great.
