  1. Not much info on Darwin on Looking at FreeBSD 6 and Beyond · · Score: 3, Informative

    From the article:

    The TrustedBSD Audit support originated in large part from Mac OS X, and we really appreciate Apple's work with us to develop audit support, and their support in getting it out into open source. One of the outcomes of this will be our (TrustedBSD's) continuing maintainership of OpenBSM, a bundling of the libraries, documentation, and command line tools, which will be portable across a host of operating systems including FreeBSD, Darwin, and Linux. This sort of arrangement can be a strong motivator for companies like Apple to release software under open source -- we're already preparing bundles of documentation and feature enhancements that we hope they will be able to adopt back into Mac OS X.

    I'm glad Apple is helping out, but I was hoping they would go more into the BSD kernel api that's appearing in Tiger.

    First they offered to clean up our waste water.
