Good to see that.
Kudos to the author who had the guts to tackle this obviously 
non-trivial project.

Well, I think you can run FreeBSD on MacBooks, too.
But for all the functionality, OS X is better.
I simply don't need a mobile computer beyond what my Lifebook provides, 
currently, or I'd have bought one already.
And as I work with xterms mostly, FreeBSD is actually a bit faster than 
OSX in that department.
Also, the Lifebook has serial-out, which is useful sometimes ;-)
