It is actually a FreeBSD userland running on top of a Mach kernel. Of course both of them are bastardised so that they don't perform as well as they should. That OS is nothing more than a hack and I can't believe people pay thousands of dollars for an Apple when the OS runs just fine on a generic PC.
