The current version on Apple's website is 6.0.1 which represents what is in 10.2. Darwin 1.4.1 represents 10.1. You might be better off with the newer version, except it only boots on old world machines if you have a G3 or G4 upgrade card. There is talk of a 6.0.2 release to fix a problem with lookupd crashing repeatedly, if you have that problem with 6.0.1. >My first taste of a BSD flavor. Anyone here tried it? I don't consider it a BSD flavor, more of a second cousin twice removed. Darwin uses NetInfo to do what most of the flat files in /etc normally do, and the driver model (IOKit) is way different from other BSD's, which means you get the drivers that come with Darwin, and that is it (unless you are good at writing drivers). If you want to learn BSD, learning to use Darwin will not get you there. I would choose NetBSD or FreeBSD for that. If you want to learn how to work with the command line of OS X, Darwin is a good choice.
