I dont really see the point in running Darwin without and of the graphics and object orientated stuff as FreeBSD is much better as a core OS. > (Thinking of building my very own AMD-based machine around FreeBSD & > Darwin...) Rather than run Darwin go pick up a copy of OpenStep 4.2 for Intel. They are dirt cheap these days and absolutely *fly* on an AMD based machine. Even OminWeb is almost useable :-) Couple that with a FreeBSD server in the corner and you have a very nice setup indeed. I can heartily ecommend this as a very useable setup. -pcf.
