I'm using FreeBSD and have done for about a year. I've read that much of the code in OSX is based on BSD. So I was wondering, what sort of stability do you have with your new Apple? What about hardware support, is that a chore to get it up and running? Say for example printing. Are you restricted to the printers you can use with Apples OS or are they pretty much all catered for?
Being a FreeBSD user, printing is something of a pain to get up an going.
