FreeBSD and OSX applications

[Lucas Holt]

KDE is a window manager for x windows.. there is a big difference 
between x windows and mac os x's window manager.

To emulate it, you would need to recreate Quartz, Quartz extreme, apple 
web kit, cocoa libraries designed for os X, etc.  In fact it would be 
like writing a more complicated next Emulator.  Aside from that, Apple 
would probably file a lawsuit.

Just do the sensible thing and buy a Macintosh if you want Mac OS X.  I 
use Mac OS X as a client and have a freebsd server for my websites.  It 
makes a great combination.
