This is due in part to a proprietary setup with Apple's libraries and stuff, and also due to the fact that many items have been modified in Darwin and differ from a traditional BSD setup. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The primary reason is that the Mac uses a completely different GUI than any BSD does. A secondary reason is that the Mac does not use FreeBSD exactly, it uses bits and pieces, so it's not a 1:1 copy. However, there are lots of programs that were written for Linux/BSD that have easily been ported to the Mac, because the systems are so similar. It's a lot easier than porting software to Windows. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
