| | Chapter 1. Introduction |
| | Darwin is an advanced BSD UNIX operating system for PowerPC and x86 compatible architectures, currently owned and developed by Apple Computer, Inc. It forms the core of Apple's flagship Mac OS X operating system, which has been catapulted from its release in 2001 to being the most widely distributed UNIX-based operating system. | | | OpenDarwin is an operating system based on Apple's Darwin, but with certain "value added" features. | | | While it could be used on a web server, there are many other operating systems that are far more mature, better supported and so on. |

| | Three Years of Free Software Activism: The Case of GNU-Darwin OS - OSNews.com |
| | The GNU-Darwin Distribution is a free operating system and a popular source of free software for Mac OS X and Darwin-x86 users, but it is also a platform for digital activism. | | | Recently, Apple's public source license was revised so that Darwin could be distributed as an FSF recognized free operating system, and we have modified Darwin in accordance with that goal, so that the GNU-Darwin developers now feel free to compete directly against "Linux" and other "open source" projects. | | | We would hope that SCO users and employees would have a similar response to the actions of the free software community, which are for their benefit in the long run. |

| | The flaws in Darwin affect Mac OS X version 10.3--dubbed Panther--and are caused by memory errors in the kernel, according to an advisory released by ImmunitySec, the security company that found the flaws. | | | ImmunitySec found the flaws by analyzing the publicly available source code of the Darwin operating system, which implements a variant of Unix known as BSD. | | | A source-code audit of the open-source operating system from which Apple Computer borrowed much of the code for Mac OS X revealed four vulnerabilities of varying severity in Apple's software, a security company said Monday. |
