Porting Darwin to Intel Platforms? 7
The Liquid Plumber asks: "I was wondering if anyone had any luck porting (or any information on porting) Apple's open source "Darwin OS" to Intel platforms? I have glanced at the code, and there is a little architecture-specific code that I'm really not familiar with. If anyone has any information on this, I'd love to have it. Thanks. "

On the other hand, I agree with your main point. I think Darwin on x86 is a worthy effort. It might one day lead to OS-X on x86 which certainly would be the final nail in M$'s coffin.

What I suspect you really want is MacOS X on x86, and that is something that only Apple can port, if they choose to do so.

People do this as a hobby, because they find it fun. It may not benefit anyone else but them, but who cares?
