You might consider http://www.mklinux.apple.com/ But I think I'd wait a little bit for http://www.rhapsodyos.com/ Supposedly it'll be released to the public in April. Or maybe that's the next developer release? Rhapsody is supposed to have real BSD guts and Mach kernel. http://www.macosrumors.com/ is another fun place to watch. Daily. I'm wondering how the "journalists" of the world are going to discount Rhapsody when it ships. Those who look to eagerly proclaim how NT is displacing Unix. When Rhapsody ships there may be more "Unix" users within a year running PowerMacs from Apple than Solaris, Irix, Linux, and FreeBSD combinded. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
