for simple clarification. OSX is built on top of Darwin which is BASED on
FreeBSD, but is not BSD. its BSD code built on top of the Mach kernel.
Ports are just the source code for the programs yer looking for anyway so
there's nothing stopping you from doing stuff like installing OpenOffice or
Gimp under OSX.
I've seen people replace the Quartz interface with Gnome before. overall Im
with you in abstaining from anything with the name "apple" attached to it
since its all overpriced underpowered crap.
