The kernel is Mach based and The GUI is not X windows. I'm not sure how it works, but they have developed there own GUI. Apple basically went out and took a dab from here and a dab from there to come up with something new. I'm under the impression that most *unix apps will compile under OSX, but I doubt seriously anything from FreeBSD could be run from a binary on OSX. I also wonder what would be involved in porting GUI X-windows apps to OSX's new GUI. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
