It is Based in BSD... freeBSD is a distribution. And AMD have drives to Mac OS X... I don't why people thinks there are no driver for freeBSD... BTW the driver for a console is way different with direct access to GPU without concurrence with OS. |
More to the point OSX is based on NetBSD and like you said, it like freeBSD are just distributions.
Apple's Darwin (top)
NetBSD is used by Apple for a large portion of the user-space commands and tools in their Darwin project, and Darwin is the UNIX-based core used by Mac OS X. NetBSD source tends to pay attention to issues of portability and correctness, and is virtually all BSD licenced, which avoids commercial problems with the GNU General Public Licence. At least one of the Apple developers has access to the NetBSD source tree and has fed back some useful changes.
