"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."

Since when BSD is closed source? This is clean Microsoft alike FUD from linux camp again.
Antik,
Please. Try to avoid being so sensitive. Not everything which happens to relate to both Linux and BSD is an attack by Linux users upon BSD. And no one is claiming that BSD is not open source. I think that if you'll just stop being so defensive, you'll find that you and *BSD have friends you didn't realize you had. But when you are frequently making accusations of FUD, and attacking everything you encounter which involves Linux, it's hard for people to feel very friendly.

What's the difference with APT?
Remember: If it does the same, open source is always better than closed source
