*Wikipedia - Mac_OS_X*
"Mac OS X is based upon the Mach kernel. Certain parts from FreeBSD's
and NetBSD's implementation of Unix were incorporated in Nextstep, the
core of Mac OS X."
*Wikipedia - Mach_kernel*
"Mach was initially hosted as additional code written directly into the
existing 4.2BSD kernel, allowing the team to work on the system long
before it was complete."
"These early Mach versions included the majority of 4.3BSD in the
kernel, a system known as POE Server, resulting in a kernel that was
actually larger than the UNIX it was based on."
...I like the semantics, least we forget ;)
