installation on extra HD

3/19
List members:

I have an extra HD in my early 2009 Intel Mac running OS 10.7.3 and Windows. Both of the latter systems have their own HD's devoted to them.
On this extra HD I'd like to install Free BSD or any other version of Unix that is close to the version on which Apple bases its operation system.

I would appreciate any help with the installation process. Are there CD's available that might facilitate installation? Or is there a better way to do things?
I frankly do not understand some of the more technical pages I see, and would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you for any help.

exmenen

EXMENEN(1)						      General Commands Manual							EXMENEN(1)

NAME

       exmenen, exmendis - enable or disable extra menus for GNOME, KDE and other XDG menu-spec compliant desktops

SYNOPSIS

       exmenen (--system | --local) [ module ]

       exmendis (--system | --local) [ module ]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the exmenen and exmendis commands.

       exmenen	is  a  script  that enables the specified extra applications menu on either a system, or per-user basis.  It does this by creating
       symlinks within /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/ (system wide),  or  ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/menus/applications-merged/  (per-user).  If  the
       XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable is unset, its default is taken to be ${HOME}/.config .

       Likewise,  exmendis  disables  an extra applications menu by removing those symlinks.  It is not an error to enable a menu which is already
       enabled, or to disable one which is already disabled.

EXAMPLES

	      exmendis --system electronics
	      exmenen --system electronics

       Disables the system wide extra electronics menu, enables it for the current user.

FILES

       /usr/share/extra-xdg-menus
	      Directory with .menu files defining the available extra modules.

       /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged
	      Directory with links to the files in extra-xdg-menus for system-wide enabled extra menus.

       ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/menus/applications-merged
	      Directory with links to the files in extra-xdg-menus for per-user enabled extra menus. If XDG_CONFIG_HOME is  unset,  the  directory
	      used will be ${HOME}/.config/menus/applications-merged
