I am wondering whether there are BSD users here. I believe both NetBSD and Open BSD run on Macs. The OpenBSD I suppose is used for serving purposes. How does a BSD work as a desktop, with a Gnome, or K environment, and say a Gnome, or other UI?

The machines that I am using now are a G5, which I am going to install more RAM in, and a Quicksilver dual 800 G4.

However, I do have a 350 G3 that I have thought about putting another drive in to, and using a BSD, or a linux on.

It seems like the linux distributions are the ones that get the attention, and work, by which I mean the desktop kind of attention. For a linux, I thought I would use Ubuntu, or perhaps YellowDog.

But I am very curious about how BSD works with an interface, on a Mac. The G3 has around 800MB of RAM. I need to get a new hard drive, as the one in it is dead. I have never run OS X on the G3.
