Can't see FreeBSD machine in Mac's Finder

Hi

Unfortunately is OS X not so good when it comes to NFS.
To make your FreeBSD box talk either AFP or SMB solves your
problem. If 
you have something against that you could try NFS Manager.

Thanks for the reply, Per.
I understand what you're saying, but will a FreeBSD machine
show up in
Finder under any circumstances?
