MacOS X 10.2 "Jaguar" (due on shelves this coming Saturday but already installed on new machines at your Apple Store) is said to be sync'ed with a newer 4.x FreeBSD. Is very similar otherwise, even includes ipfw. Jaguar has Kame IPsec. If there is any feature I'd like for FreeBSD to have is Apple's Aqua. While there is an x86 Darwin, I haven't looked closely enough to understand "why". MacOS X 10.1.5 lacks some refinements found in FreeBSD. Consuming 5% CPU just to run top(1) is excessive. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
