My "main" BSD box is a SE/30. (On my real workstation, a G3, I use YDL.) I sometimes wonder if I am a masochist. ;) I have to admit, I'd like to see the looks from the local LUG if I demo'd it running KDE and Mozilla.
The "main" BSD box here is a Q700, not enough joy to hold my interest. No real job for it which is more to the point.
The only mac running linux is the C650. I'm using vpc5 on a 7300/g3 with a deb install to play with. MDK7.2 works slightly better.
MDK8.2 couldn't hold its spot on the macs hard drive I'll toss the vpc hardfile sometime and try MDK9.1 hopefully some old world problems have gone
Is YDL3 a great improvement? its been about 18 month since I tried it.
Mdk9.1 on a pc is rather nice which explains my leaning toward Mandrake over YDL
I like Blackbox, and would probably use it most of the time if I could. (Probably will once I get better at certain *nix-isms, but for now it's still KDE on the G3.) On the SE/30 though, none of the themes I've found work good in monochrome, and I haven't had time to design one. So there I use IceWM, which is almost as lean. On the Q840 I'll probably go with Blackbox, if I ever log into the console.
Blackbox on the C650 ok, a bit on the heavy side. its hard to go past the console.
My main browser on these machines is Links. (Table layouts!) GUI browsers, especially recent ones, are kind of a lark on this level machine.
Thats the point with 68k machines.
I'm told eXodus does a very good job even on a 68k mac, a session including the use of Mozilla gives good results from the mac desktop.
