I would suggest using Linux for two reasons:
I would go with one of the bsds I find the documentation on linuxes to
be ad-hoc and written by people that may or may not know the correct
way to do things.
Specifically I find the netBSD to be very well done.
but that is only "IMHO"...
-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].

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.
