<pedantry> Sort of. It's an updated CMU Mach; where Mach used one of the 4.2BSD releases for its hosted OS base, XNU uses FreeBSD-Current. But, as with Mach's 4.2BSD, it is modified --- significantly, in its core --- because it is a guest under XNU. </pedantry> -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates [email protected] [email protected] unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
