Ouch. I have not seen any extravagant claims on behalf of PureDarwin. Mostly just apologetic caveats that it's not quite yet ready for primetime.

However, other messages in this thread suggest that neither of those two things are completely necessary. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
