> Does Darwin support all hardware FreeBSD does? Is it stripped down to Mac-like hardware? I think you have the common misconception that Darwin uses the FreeBSD kernel. It does have components from FreeBSD, and one of the principal engineers was the founder of FreeBSD. However, the kernel is actually Mach+XNU (Mach is a micro-kernel, XNU is a Unix-kernel-like wrapper around it).
