Or you could switch to Mavericks which is based on Darwin that was forked from FreeBSD, and desktop ready. ;)

- pimeys 13y agoBut is too complicated system underneath for me to use. I love Funtoo/Gentoo for it's simplicity. I know exactly what's installed to my system and how I should configure it. With OS X, Ubuntu or Windows, I don't have that feeling anymore.
- empthought 13y agoYou probably know this, but the Darwin/FreeBSD relationship is much, much more complicated than a fork. Darwin's the successor to NeXTSTEP, which included a Mach microkernel and some BSD APIs and userland. When they developed OS X, Apple updated much of the userland using more recent FreeBSD versions as a base. Even more confusingly, Apple has contributed some subsystems to open source that have made their way into FreeBSD (notably the compiler and libc++). So Darwin's not a fork in the same way that OpenBSD is a fork of NetBSD.
