James, you missed the point.  If you have an Intel MAC it came
with MacOS X (tiger) and that is basically the same operating
system as FreeBSD.  Meaning, what are you trying to gain?  If
anything, your worse off with FreeBSD since MacOS X comes with
a gorgeous user interface that FreeBSD does not have.
