Posted by pudge on from the here-a-port-there-a-port-everywhere-a-port-port dept.

Gentu writes "OSNews hosts an interview with Jordan Hubbard (of Apple, OpenDarwin, and FreeBSD fame) where they discuss DarwinPorts and how they compare to Fink. There is also a hint from Jordan that there might be some of the FreeBSD 5.x advancements to be found in Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) that is coming out, reportedly, this autumn."

    I think NASA used these x86 macs to do the video editing when they faked the moon landings.
