In my room, I have two computers:  a Quadra 610 running NetBSD and a Blue
and White G3 running LinuxPPC.  On the G3, I am also able to quite happily
run MOL (Mac on Linux).  It is a wonderful program -- a god send to us
all.  It would be interesting to see a BSD port.  The only problem that I
can forsee is that it requires as much RAM, hard disk space, ect. as the
MacOS itself and would probably run very painfully (if at all) on and LC
or a Quadra of any sort.

At any rate, have a look at http://maconlinux.com.  That explains the MOL
project, provids screenshots, allows for downloads, etc.

Do cvidanoe,
