PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless "The iPhone (or iPod Touch) is a 667MHz computer (albeit one that is only running at 412MHz) with 128MB of RAM and between 4 and 32 GB of flash. For software, it is running a pared down Mac OS X with its standard compliment of a FreeBSD-based userland over a Darwin kernel. While some people wonder why anyone would attempt to use it as a Unix workstation, to me and many others it seems ludicrous not to."

OS X already got native ports system: http://darwinports.com/
What's the difference with APT?

Remember: If it does the same, open source is always better than closed source ;)

Since when BSD is closed source? This is clean Microsoft alike FUD from linux camp again.
