Darwin is the core of Mac OS X. The Darwin kernel is based on FreeBSD and Mach 3.0 technologies and provides protected memory and pre-emptive multitasking. Darwin runs on PowerPC-based Macintosh computers and a version is also available for x86-compatible computers.
Apples open source projects allow developers to customize and enhance key Apple software. Through the open source model, Apple engineers and the open source community collaborate to create better, faster and more reliable products for our users.
Beneath the appealing, easy-to-use interface of Mac OS X is a rock-solid foundation that is engineered for stability, reliability, and performance. This foundation is a core operating system commonly known as Darwin.
Darwin integrates a number of technologies, most importantly Mach 3.0, operating-system services based on 4.4BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution), high-performance networking facilities, and support for multiple integrated file systems.
Since it was first released in March 1999, Darwin has been the open-source OS technology underlying Apples Mac OS X operating system, with all development being managed and hosted by Apple at http://developer.apple.com/darwin/.
Since Apples Mac OS X releases are based directly on the live Darwin CVS repository, it has been necessary to have a fairly comprehensive procedural framework in place for registering and managing Darwin developers to ensure a good level of quality control. While this system has served its intended purpose quite well, it is desirable to further increase the collaboration between Apple and the open source community beyond the current model.
OpenDarwin.org, jointly founded in April 2002 by Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. (ISC) and Apple, is an attempt to take cooperative Darwin development to the next level. Membership in the OpenDarwin project and access to its works are open to everyone.
The project is also fully independent, with control over its own web site, project news, bug tracking information and CVS repository, as well as any other services that the community owners may wish to provide. Neither Apple nor ISC take any responsibility for, or exercise any editorial control over, the OpenDarwin project.
Many OpenDarwin members are either Apple employees or Darwin Committers, who have an active interest in merging technologies from OpenDarwin.org into Darwin and Mac OS X releases. With OpenDarwin, project members have greater latitude in producing incremental updates or interim releases of Darwin.
The mission of the OpenDarwin project is to innovate and explore new technologies while still remaining relevant, through its informal connection to www.opensource.apple.com, to the mainstream computing environments that Apple provides. It complements Apples infrastructure by allowing increased participation by the community.

Peachtree Linux is a new Linux distribution being developed by several students/former students at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Since its inception in the fall of 2002, Peachtree Linux has aimed to be a small system for the seasoned Linux user. You wont find GNOME or KDE among Peachtree Linuxs packages, so it might not be the system for you. There are several simple rules we try to follow:
1. No GNOME or KDE.
2. All X11 programs have their binaries, libraries, and headers installed to the /usr/X11R6 tree.
3. All configuration files are placed in /etc.
4. /bin and /lib do not exist, they are soft links to /usr/bin and /usr/lib, respectively.
5. /sbin contains statically compiled programs that can bring a system up from a cold boot, nothing more.
6. We have one program per task. We do not like distributions which offer dozens of MP3 players, or mail clients, or window managers. We do have exceptions to this rule, but we generally stick to it.
Thats more or less the guiding ideas behind the distribution. It is developed in parallel on both PowerPC and i386. Work is being done to port the distribution to Alpha, PA-RISC, and MIPS platforms.
Were not out to change the world with this distribution. We just want to make a system that we like to use. If you like the sound of what were trying to put together, then Peachtree Linux may be for you. If the ideas really dont get you excited, you may want to find another distribution.
Enhancements:

Alpha Shooter is a 3D OpenGL first-person shooter game with a sci-fi setting.
Alpha Shooter was born as a project for the Computer Graphics course at the University of Bologna.
The main objective was to develop a very simple 3D game using the OpenGL, GLU and GLUT libraries only (and some creativity). Emphasis was not placed on the game itself, rather on learning how to use the libraries to produce a 3D environment and interact with it; it was thus required to build a suitable scenery using polygonal meshes and quadric surfaces, appropriate textures and materials, lights, and effects.
According to my personal taste I chose a sci-fi setting, trying to reproduce an environment that could remind players of a warehouse or loading area located inside a space ship or space station, like those often seen in movies or commercial videogames (of course I was aware of the limits of my implementation). I focused development on a single room, with an outside view, for ease of development (it was my very first attempt at graphics programming) and because it was enough to make use of a wide set of elements of OpenGL, consistently with the project requirements.
The game I wrote was inspired to the First Person Shooter genre, in which the player can move around in a 3D environment, looking around freely through the eyes of the played character, interacting (in very limited ways) with some of the objects present, shooting crates and barrels and some holographic targets.
I had a lot of fun creating that simple game, so after I got my Masters Degree I decided it would be a waste to just leave it hidden in some obscure directory at home; it is now here, released as Free Software, so that I can keep working on it and improving it, with help from whoever will be interested, in the hope that it will be useful as an example on how to get started in computer graphics and games development.
Enhancements:
- Binary packages were created for all supported operating systems, including a Windows installer, an i386 Debian Linux package, and a PowerPC Mac OS X DMG disk image.
- Additionally, the improved persistent mouse movement mode uses a dynamic mouse cursor that shows direction and speed of rotation, making that movement mode more intuitive and useful.
- Several minor bugs have also been fixed.
