If your goal is to compete with MacOSX, you'll be better of reusing the=20= whole of FreeBSD rather than just the kernel, and concentrate on=20 building a powerfull, consistent API and user friendly environment on=20 top of it. However, before you start such huge enterprise, you might want to take=20= a look at the Gnustep project (www.gnustep.org), which aims at fully=20 reimplementing the OpenSTEP/Cocoa API and most system applications such=20= a proper Finder, development tools, etc... This is advancing well and=20 will provide the closest open source match to MacOSX. Actually, you can=20= build applications for Gnustep or for MacOSX from the same source code. just my two cents Raphael Le vendredi, 23 mai 2003, =E0 21:38 Europe/Zurich, karim18@juno.com a=20 =E9crit : > > Hello there, > > My name is Karim, and me and a couple of friends are interested in=20 > developing an Open Source flavour of *nix (Not Linux though... its not=20= > fast enough) similar to Mac OS X in its look and feel (lotsa=20 > eye-candy), anyways we were wondering where we could get the source=20 > for the latest FreeBSD kernel (Without having to download the entire=20= > set of CD's, else we do have a set of 4.7 and you could just let me=20 > know on which CD the kernel resides), and if we were to design an OS=20= > around it besides the obvious (Giving credit to the FBSD dev team as=20= > stated under the BSD license) would there be any other issues in the=20= > copyright/copyleft?? any information/comments/suggestions would be=20 > greatly appreciated. also is there any online resource guides on the=20= > FreeBSD kernel?? > > Thanx in Advance, > Karim F.
