FreeBSD was mentioned as the basis for the Mac OS X: http://www.theregister.co.uk/000224-000014.html near the bottom: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MacOS X's FreeBSD microkernel-based architecture makes it an ideal basis for a high-stable (if hi-fis and VCRs don't crash, neither can consumer electronics Net appliances) yet compact (store it in Flash RAM) appliance OS. Just add a cut-back Mac GUI and you're away. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Maybe they are calling FreeBSD a microkernel after seen the size of a Windows 2000 "minumal installation"? 8-).
