This might better be asked offlist, but there may be others like
me who are clueless, and since you are familiar, I'll ask you.
How "interact-able" are FBSD and (say) MacBook? E.g., is there a
"BSD-way" of my creating an account of the Apple and using is?
It's got @G of RAM, and a 160G drive [!]. Apple says in plain
text that is is UNIX. (or maybe Berkeley Unix).
So besides the mac firewall [whatever], the laptop will be
behind my pfSense box. So... --and to be completely honest, the
main reason for this >> $1000 laptop is *security*. When she was
younger I wasn't that concerned is some kiddie cracker learned
that her favorite pet was a kitty. Different now.
Another question: can I install X11 without it bothering whatever
kind of mac front-end windowing comes with? Be great if I could
admin this BSD-based computer from my office.
thankee much!
