Darwin
Mac OS X is a UNIX-based operating system with modern GUI and application support frameworks layered on top. The lowest layer, Darwin, includes the kernel, device drivers and driver support frameworks, a BSD personality layer, and various libraries and command-line utilities. The Darwin layers of Mac OS X are open source. This provides a resource for open source development efforts (such as Linux and BSD variants) to make their software available on Mac hardware. This folder contains resources related to Darwin used to allow Mac users to install and run software not specifically targeted for OS X.

MacPorts
- The MacPorts Project is an open-source community initiative to design an easy-to-use system for compiling, installing, and upgrading either command-line, X11 or Aqua based open-source software on the Mac OS X operating system. The system provides the command-line driven MacPorts software package under a BSD License, and through it easy access to thousands of ports that greatly simplify the task of compiling and installing open-source software on your Mac.

Darwine
- The Darwine project intends to port and develop WINE as well as other supporting tools that will allow Darwin and Mac OS X/ppc users to run Windows Applications.
