[QUOTE]From 18-22 April 2007 this comparison is being upgraded to Vista! The old Server 2003 data will not be fully replaced until Monday. Watch this space for the best Linux verses Vista kernel comparison.

Though this appears to contain the latest Vista kernel information already, bookmark this page, and check back after 4/22 to be sure.

I’m been cruising the net looking for a list of “ingredients” for Darwin, but can’t seem to find one. If you have access to one, could you post a link here?

I’d be interested in looking at it.

here is the apple opensource developer page. lots of links on there:

Lots of documentation on darwin:

Darwin is opensource so you can download the kernel and compile it yourself if you like
Source for every Mac OS X release can be found here:

Thanks Mac, I’ll look through this stuff. I’m just looking for a listing similar to the one on Linux and Vista that I posted. I’m sure it’s in there somewhere. And, you’re right, from your earlier post, it would be nice to see all three side by side.
