MacOS X has a Unix core ( Mach 3.0 + FreeBSD ). a few people are looking
into a port to MacOS X DP2 (Developer Preview, heavily NDA'ed), but
they're not sure if the guts are 'feature frozen' yet. MacOS X CR1
(Customer Release) supposidly ships ~feb 2k. id expect that the port
would be relatively painless, but i'm not 100% positive. Mach would be
The Big Hurdle (no pun intended) in getting pgsql to work right on the
MacOS X/OS X Server platform.
David Wetzel ( www.turbocat.de ) has a working EOAdaptor for MacOS X
Server, OPENSTEP/Mach, and OPENSTEP/NT. ive been using it for quite a few
internal projects under MacOS X Server. works great.
