- taligent 14y agoApple is not FreeBSD either. It is Darwin which forked in its own direction a long time ago.
- danieldk 14y agoYep. Also, a lot of kernel code originates from Mach via NeXTStep. Some parts of the userland are from NetBSD as well. It's really a mixture of Mach, FreeBSD, NetBSD, GNU and Apple's own additions and modifications. So, the I guess the only proper names for this beast are XNU and Darwin.
