   Thanks for the Link. I love FreeBSD and work currently with a Fedora   
   Mate Spin, that has been honed into an OSX alike look and feel. Once my   
   Apple Airbook is gone far beyond support, I shall try it.   
   Unfortunately there are some showstoppers along the way - things I NEED   
   to have (Signal App being one). So far I am optimistic.
