I haven't heard anything about the Linux port for the Mac. With respect to the BSD port, an Alpha version was released in early September, 1993. It currently runs on the MacII, and MacIIcx (and possibly IIx and SE/30). There is a mailing list you can subscribe to, to find out what's happening and to discuss any problems with it. Also, anyone who is interested in helping with the programming effort can subscribe. If you want to get on the mailing list, send a message with the word help in the BODY (not the subject) to Majordomo@sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu. To subscribe, send a message with a line: subscribe macbsd-general <your e-mail address> It is currently at the ALPHA version. hulk.sfsu.edu is the official binary release site. (/pub/MacBSD.ALPHA) sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu will be the source site. (/pub/NetBSD/mac) There is a file called MacBSD.FAQ in the /pub/MacBSD.ALPHA directory at hulk that should be able to answer a whole lot more. - Ian.
