I know you must have better things to do to day then what your time on
dumb email.
But would like to know Is or is not the basic system of OS x 10 .2.2
FreeBSD ?
Why dos it seem to to take for ever to find an MAC os X port of some thing.
And Yes befor I sent my cheap PC the the PC graveyard I

It incorporates some parts of FreeBSD, but it is not FreeBSD.

The userland is freebsd.. i.e. the executables in /usr/bin, /bin, etc.
I'm sure apple alters a few things. The part of OSX that differs is in
the kernel. Roughly half the kernel is FreeBSD 5.0 and the other half
is based on the Mach 3.0 kernel design. Basically apple hacked two

Not to be pedantic, but there is no such thing as OS X.3 . There is OS

MacOS X is using a monolithic kernel which derives from between the
CMU Mach project v2.0 and v2.5 circa 1990, which was Avie Tenavian's
grad project at CMU. Apple is not using the Mach 3.0 microkernel, nor
is it using half of the FreeBSD 5 kernel.
Incorrect! The original OS X code base

Thats what I get for following common conventions for developer lists!

Many people use X.1, X.2, etc. to refer to versions of OS X.
Technically you are right though. The one time i use it...
