No, it is built on BSD.

Darwin was opensourced.  Darwin is a microkernel and is thus very very different from Linux, which is a monolithic kernel design.  There were x86 ports of Darwin well before the rest of OSX was ported to x86.  Why would you think there would be no x86 drivers available?

Xeniczone:
Easy, Most windows computers are made with verious parts from a range of different companys. Like a Sony cd rom drive a western digital hard drive a amd cpu a foxconn motherboard. They never keep the same brand name parts. This is why windows crashes more then mac. Mac only has to make drivers for the parts they put in there machines. Windows has to make drivers for every part out there.

So if you put Mac on a x86 computer you will have a lot of parts that mac may not reconize such as the cd rom. If you have a dell your cd rom drive is from lite-on.  One brand of cd roms that isn't supported by mac is Nec. I bought one of there dvd burners for my mac and it didn't work so i have this useless dvd burner here.

It isn't the x86 it's self it is all the other parts that x86 computers are built on.

You need ONE driver for ATAPI CD-ROMS.  That's what standards are for.  Linux and FreeBSD use one driver for all ATAPI CD-ROMs and they don't have stability issues because they are not crappy operating systems.

Orethrius:
I'm also tempted to say that "expecting BSD to work out-of-the-box with ALL hardware" is similar to "expecting Linux to work with peripherals when the proper drivers haven't first been compiled."  Track down the drivers before declaring incompatibility.  Thank you, drive around.

Xeniczone:
first to get it clear I have nothing agenst mac. i like mac I even use mac over windows. I don't like windows. Linux I couldn't adapt to i used it for about a month some of the free games were cool like tux race :D

All I'm saying is there will be a lack of drivers. ok. Some stuff that was never made to run with mac os like amd and 3rd party intel boards and some 1st party intel boards Mac will not reconize then to use these devices you will need 3rd party drivers. What does this do. It turns mac into a unless crashing OS like windows.

There is a reason why apple and only apple make mac os compadible computers.
