Charles Robert Darwin (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) is famed as the English naturalist who convinced the scientific community by his writings and a mass of evidence that species develop over time in a process of evolution. His theories of natural and sexual selection subsequently became central to the modern evolutionary synthesis as the unifying theory of the life sciences, essential in biology and important in other disciplines such as anthropology, psychology and philosophy.

Darwin is the underlying operating system to Apple's Mac OSX. Darwin is free to the public (free as in beer), with Apple's Open Source License, while their proprietary GUI, Aqua, and soon to be Quartz is not.

Darwin was a famed English naturalist who greatly contributed to Science with his theory of Evolution which was built on the work of Lemarck and others before him.\

So which Darwin is it?

Oops! Sorry I meant:

Darwin (operating system), a low level computer operating system used as the lower layer of Apple's Mac OS X

O.K., but how does it compare to Linux?
