You misunderstood me. I was saying that running X apps on Cygwin on  
Windows, or running Windows apps on wine on Linux gives you roughly  
the same breadth of tools as does Mac OS X does out of the box: no  
hacks required. Kinda like Irix did, but without the price tag...

Let's see. 10.2.x runs on Darwin 6.y where x=y. Current version of  
Darwin available is 9.0. So pah! You haven't even begun :-P  Try  
upgrading the version of Darwin that 10.2 sits on to a later version.  
Kernel, or the entire OS.
