MacOS X 10.6.4. Its solid, supported, and Unix. In general the Unix
things that need to be treated differently between MacOS and FreeBSD are
exactly the sort of things you need to be prepared for for jumping
between any Unix (or Unix clone).

Apple hardware is exceptionally good. Generally run 5 to 8 years before
upgrading. Got my original MacBook Pro in January 2006 and its still
Going strong on the original battery. Its biggest limitation today is its
2GB max memory, but the Intel Core Duo 1.83 GHz CPU is plenty good.
