	Darwin (operating system) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Darwin is a free, open source, Unix-like operating system first released by Apple Computer in 2000.
		The Darwin developers decided to adopt a mascot in 2000, and chose Hexley the platypus over other contenders, such as an Aqua Darwin fish, Clarus the dogcow, and an orca.
		Atomic operations, spinlocks, critical sections, mutexes, and serializing tokens are all possible methods that can be used to prevent concurrent access.

		A measure of this success may be seen when Apple sought out a new foundation for its Macintosh operating system: it chose to develop a freely redistributable core operating system, Darwin, based on the BSD family and Mach.
		It led the way in operating systems that were written in high level language as opposed to assembler (assembler was in vogue at the time).
		The file system hierarchy contained machine services and devices (such as printers, terminals, or disk drives), providing a superficially uniform interface, but at the expense of requiring indirect mechanisms such as IOCTL and mode flags to access features of the hardware that did not fit the simple "stream of bytes" model.

		The system of Roman numerals is a numeral system originating in ancient Rome, and was adapted from Etruscan numerals.
		System 6 was the name of a version of Mac OS, the operating system of the Apple Macintosh computer, which was used in the late 1980s prior to the introduction of System 7.

		The effort paid off big time: Darwin delivers the reliability and performance you'd expect from a modern operating system, ensuring users and developers the benefit of a high-quality, interoperable system built on open standards.
		At the core of Darwin is a key component called the kernel, the pivotal component in the operating system that handles most of the interaction between the operating system and the hardware.
		The system's kernel is based on Mach 3.0 from Carnegie-Mellon University and FreeBSD 3.2 (derived from the University of California at Berkeley's BSD 4.4-Lite), the most highly regarded core technologies from two of the most widely acclaimed OS projects of the modern era.

	Chapter 1. Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Darwin is an advanced BSD UNIX operating system for PowerPC and x86 compatible architectures, currently owned and developed by Apple Computer, Inc. It forms the core of Apple's flagship Mac OS X operating system, which has been catapulted from its release in 2001 to being the most widely distributed UNIX-based operating system.
		Most of Darwin (the components developed by Apple) is licensed under the OSI-approved Apple Public Source License, which as of version 2.0 conforms to the Free Software Foundation's definition of a Free Software License.
		There are those coming from OS X looking to learn more about the core of their operating system and find out why things work as they do, look at source to help them better understand what's going on under the hood so they can improve their products, and so on.

		Recently, Apple's public source license was revised so that Darwin could be distributed as an FSF recognized free operating system, and we have modified Darwin in accordance with that goal, so that the GNU-Darwin developers now feel free to compete directly against "Linux" and other "open source" projects.

		Darwin (the kernel) is open source (I'm hacking their mouse driver at the moment) and Apple has the most open hardware platform available, all the way down to the firmware.
		Operating systems are too important to be controlled by a single company.
		Um, Darwin and the BSD core (also open-source) are the whole operating system.

		The TDC packages derive from the FreeBSD ports system which was modified for Darwin-based operating systems and bootstrapped to convergence at maximized functionality.
		No modifications were made to the ports themselves or to the OSX system, except as described or extrapolated directly from the porting instructions and tips.
		The ports system also protects the users from predators, because the source code is downloaded on-demand from trusted maintainers, and it is securely verified with the MD5 checksum system.
