I think that was the whole point of the Darwin logo (a platypus with Beastie's horns on it: ). If you watch the "BSD is Dying" presentation, you'll laugh when you see the reference to OSX as well: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3D7833143728685685343 :). You have two choices: 1. Buy an Xserve loaded with OSX: http://shop.apple.com/ . 2. Compile and maintain your own copy of Apple's version of Darwin: http://opensource.apple.com/ . FYI, according to the Apple folks OSX is based off FreeBSD 5 (not sure which minor version): [Quote -- http://opensource.apple.com]: This fully-conformant UNIX operating system=97built on Mach 3.0 and FreeBSD 5=97bundles over a hundred of the most popular Open Source products.
