If anyone has any info about a Free or Cheap Mac BSD please >let me know. (Post or Mail) NetBSD/mac68k (or MacBSD) is getting there. I have not personally used it, but we user NetBSD/sparc and NetBSD/i386 here for real, critical systems and it works. Try joining the mailing list(s), send a mail to majordomo@sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu and say "lists" in the body. Also, wander around the ftp site (same system), but the Mac binaries are kept somewhere else at the moment (cray-ymp.... something - it'll be in the mailing list archives).
