This "BSD is a complete operating system" that you speak of... Do you mean FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragnonFly BSD, Darwin?

Thankfully BSD is not subject to teh whims of any distro?

[jen20]

Each of {Free,Open,Net,DragonFly}BSD is its own operating system, complete with tree, system call interface and ports tree. This is not the same as the distribution model Linux has - the BSDs have diverged substantially from one another.

Has anything workable been made from Darwin in the past decade or has Apple mostly left that community high and dry?
