For clarification:
  o Darwin is a FreeBSD variant that runs on top of the 
    Mach microkernel.  You can download a version of 
    this kernel for i386 mahcines.
  o OS X is the Kernel/GUI/Application bundle that Apple
    makes for its machines.  The relationship between
    OS X and Darwin is much the same as that between 
    Solaris and SunOS, RedHat and Linux, and Windows and
    Win32[?].

Rumour has it that there *i*s a variant of OS X for i386 machines, but
the product has never seen the light of day, unless Paul knows something
that we don't :)
