Greetings All,
Being a long time Linux user and now looking into moving over to
FreeBSD, I decided to so some research on the web to try and get a
better idea as to the strengths and weaknesses as compared to other
operating systems like Linux (Fedora, Gentoo, etc..), OpenBSD, NetBSD,
and Opensolaris.
From what I have found, FreeBSD seems to be at the very top in almost
every way.
In my Internet travels, I came across a site that has this MAC OS X (
which I guess is called Darwin?) at:
http://developer.apple.com/opensource/index.html
and have noticed that they seem to have built the MAC OS X from a core
of FreeBSD 5.x.
Do I read this correctly?
Also, what are the differences between MAC OS X and Darwin?
I'm pretty sure that Darwin does not include the MAC gui. I believe
that the guis
used on Darwin are basically the same as found on *BSD and Linux - KDE,
Gnome, ...
The reason that I ask all of this stuff is because if we were going to
take a distro to start building from as a base for a project that we
are working on then would it make more sense to take the latest
FreeBSD 6.1 or the MAC OS X (Darwin) as the base since there has been
a great amount of work on both distros and they are also both BSD based?
I guess that I am still a little confused on some of these things and
hope that some one can help to answer some of my newbie questions.
Thanks and have a good day,
Lonnie T. Cumberland
