It is my understanding that Darwin is Apple's freebsd kernel, and that it can be downloaded (relatively) freely. Aqua is the interface, then, that Apple uses in OS X, correct? Is there any way to get aqua for a linux distro, and is it open source? Is that a proprietary thing? Also, would there be any benefit to using the Darwin kernel as the base for a linux installation? justin _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
