I would suggest using Linux for two reasons:
-there is a much wider variety of drivers available as part of the OS
itself
-the build/install system for Linux is much more straightforward than
trying to build Darwin+all the cli tools [just to bootstrap to a cli
for you to put your UI onto].
But that is only "IMHO"...

Hi All,
I am thinking about a research project for an educational\hobby OS
type project.
What does everyone think about using Darwin? I am not totally
familiar with the state of Darwin, but it must be decent because
that is what Apple uses as it's base, no?
I have been writing a GUI Toolkit and a session manager for years
and I want to take some time and put everything together for a small
hobby OS project, get some experience, etc.
I would probably do my work in a VMWare Fusion instance.
Thoughts are appreciated.
