Easy enough - you already are running BSD unix under the hood in your mac - just open up an Xterm window and explore. That's how I use mine all the time. I set up fetchmail to grab all of my email off of the various POP accounts I have scattered around and use good old fashioned Pine as a text based email client. You already have a copy of both vi and emacs for text editors and the entire GNU development tree if you want to add more stuff to your machine.
I was told that I couldn't have an iPhone because it wouldn't work with our Exchange/Blackberry solution at work. I set up fetchmail and proved that it wouldn't be an issue. I still can't have an iPhone. Fedora, Ubuntu, and SUSE are great ways to get into Linux if you have a spare PC around. I'm still rather stuck on FreeBSD.
Since I started out on SunOS on Sun 3/50's I have always had a soft spot for BSD. It has that kind of Mommy(TM) feeling to it for me since that's where I got acquainted with unix.
It's nice that in the long run it all came back around to the basics after years of slavish compliance to the POSIX standards.

I keep looking at Thunderbird, but I don't have a way to do a remote display of the client for a local mail collection on a Mac. While the Mac is running on FreeBSD and has Xwindows, the typical Mac client application is actually not using Xwindows for the display so you can't just do a simple "export DISPLAY=$LOCALHOST:0" and fire up the client on a PC running an X server like cygnus windows.
Thus, I keep plugging away with the olde universal of pine......

I do server stuff on Red Hat Enterprise or Solaris (getting ready to shut down my E5500, E4500, and E3500s). I have a sparc 5 that has been running almost non-stop for 8 years on solaris 6. If i'm doing PC stuff, I just use windows. Given the opportunity, i'd use my G5, but it's so danged slow that i end up just turning it off most of the time.
