hey guys!
i've been intrigued by Mac OS X for quite some time. how it's descended from unix, and still manages to be easy to use(on the whole), and how it also manages to be so 'unsecure'.
then i just checked the darwin website. darwin's the main kernel underneath mac os x, and i believe there are ports to other hardware, as well as versions such as opendarwin and gnu/darwin.

right to the point.
i plan to use gnu/darwin, and get the feel for working in such an environment.
could you guys tell me more about the programming options offered in this distribution?

thanks!

like everyone says, it's basically a somewhat modified BSD 4.4 kernel with some hybrid microkernel components.

yup.
definitely better than the traditional mac os, which still isn't a pure microkernel.

say, let's compare windows and gnu/darwin.
what say you?
