Of course I'll change it if you want. I picked Darwin (actually darwin) because that is the name that the operating system identifies itself with. The output of uname -a is:
Darwin BookWormMac.local 9.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.8.0: Wed Jul 15 16:55:01 PDT 2009; root:xnu-1228.15.4~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 All versions of MacOS X have reported as Darwin. Darwin is not a name like Cheetah, Puma, Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, Leopard, and Snow Leopard, which are used to identify different releases of MacOS X. Wikipedia says: "Darwin is an open source POSIX-compliant computer operating system released by Apple Inc. in 2000. It is composed of code developed by Apple, as well as code derived from NeXTSTEP, BSD, and other free software projects. Darwin forms the core set of components upon which Mac OS X, Apple TV, and iPhone OS are based. It is compatible with the Single UNIX Specification version 3 (SUSv3) and POSIX UNIX applications and utilities." I may be naive, but I feel it is as stable as Debian or Ubuntu. Actually more stable than Ubuntu because Darwin is older by about 4 years. An interesting side note, while Mac OS X has only supported intel processors since January, 2006 (10.4.4), Darwin has supported intel processors since 2000. If you still want me to change it, I will defer to your greater expertise and experience.
