 i see that apple develop a x86 version of Darwin, perhaps to release a Mac Os X on x86 in the future (please please please). I want to try but before that, i ask u if anyone have try it to know i fit's work well. Coze it's "just" the darwin engine, i suppose we cannot do more than shell commands. Somebody could confirm that? Thks in advance.  |

| It's kinda like putting Linux on your box, only you won't be able to use all the RPM's out there. You'll probably want to get XFree86 for Darwin. I think there are links from www.darwinfo.org. -Rob |

| No, all the graphical elements and the Cocoa stuff is Apple-only. It's kind of an odd marriage, having the *nix kernel open source but making it primarily only useful for selling Mac OS X. Does anyone out there use Darwin by itself for reasons other than fiddling around? -Rob |

| On an x86 box, I'd go for Linux -- better hardware support and more software. I don't know of any advantage of Darwin/x86 over FreeBSD/x86 as well. |
