OT: Where to for Mac freeware?

[elfranko]

I'm mainly a PC user and for years have come here to get opinions on
the best of the best freeware for PC. Due to circumstances somewhat
out of my control I now have to learn the Mac. Does anyone have any
experience with a place which might be the equivalent (or at least as
close to as possible) to a place like this where I can find users
posting opinions and questions re: Mac freeware?

Thanks!

For Mac OS X there are ports of open-source programs, search for Fink.

I think that Freeware is Freeware.

If you have any questions regarding Mac specific freeware, then you
could by all means post it here [I don't think it would hurt]

My news server doesn't provide any platform specific freeware
newsgroups, not to say that there aren't any out there, only I don't
see any other than this NG and <alt.comp.freeware.discussion> and
<alt.comp.freeware.games>

Quite a lot of [good] free software available for PCs is also for or
has Mac ports, so opinions and questions can quite often be for either.
