I surmise from this, the Darwin hacker community is very very small and only exists because of a few motivated individuals and some support from Apple (who have to keep the appearance of open source OS alive). The HFS+ implementation in the kernels VFS layer converts colon to slash and vice versa when.
I subscribed to a few of the mailing lists but they carry a fraction the volume of FreeBSD lists. Mac OS X begins with a BSD foundation called Darwin. Estas seguro de que sabes cual es el sistema operativo de MacOS tal vez lo que consideras el OS no sea diferente a Gnome o KDEBlog. Unfortunately, I can’t get it to boot on any of my x86 machines which all have IDE drives even a machine which has run FreeBSD since 4.7 won’t boot Darwin.

Seems like Linux is the only OS some folks can relate to – strange. Mac OS X combines both Open Source and proprietary technologies into a widely-used. So while it is a loosely Unix-like OS, it is quite unlike Linux, which is a monlithic kernel (and a mongrel GNU/SysV/BSD crossbreed API). It’s basically a FreeBSD userland on top of a Mach kernel and with a unique Apple-oriented driver architecture. Darwins kernel is based on a combination of Mach 3.0. Go to and you can find out all about OpenDarwin. The BSD heritage still shows, in fact Darwin was recently modernized with code from FreeBSD and NetBSD. Hmm, I hope the above comments don’t reflect the actual intelligence of the OSNews readership -).
