New Well, if you want "Darwin"
You might as well run a *BSD. For general desktop use, I'd recommend FreeBSD.

New Re: Well, if you want "Darwin"
Ah but what is the avantage of running Darwin if any? A modified MACH Kernel? Elite Modifications that can make the PC do backflips? A nice little Apple Logo in the X-Application windows? ;)

What would make me want to run "Darwin" over Linux or *BSD?

Can I run Darwin on a 486 or a 80Mhz 6X86 Cyrix box?
Picking up the pieces of my broken life.

If the answer to your question starts with, "Well ... ", you're not going to like what comes next.
