| Summary | Darwin is based on FreeBSD 5.0 and is available as open source (free) in source code form. It offers networking, performance and security for the workstation and server. It is also the core of the Mac OS X, but does not include a number of APIs and UI components specific to the Mac (so Mac software will not run on Darwin). | |||||||||||||||||||||
