The OS X kernel actually is based on the Mach microkernel, with all the
things that make it a microkernel removed and a set of FreeBSD APIs
(syscall, sysctl, iosys) slapped in.  A user-space application written
for FreeBSD will compile on OS X with minimal tweaks required but that's
not the same as the kernel being BSD-based.  There are scenarios where
this is important to know and OS X is still not a good performer as a
server OS.

ostriches if you punch them hard enough.
